Package: coreutils Version: 8.5-1 Severity: important Tags: squeeze To reproduce:
mkdir a b ln -s a x ln -s -f b x The last line should have removed the previous link to 'a' and replaced it with the new link to 'b'. However, 'ls -l' shows that the link 'x' still points to 'a'. The failure to remove the former link is silent. This worked in releases up to and including 'lenny'. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (720, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.49-2 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.94-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
