Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
If I use 'dired' on a directory which has a subdirectory with a name
ending with a colon, and do a recursive directory listing in there, I
can't visit any files under subdirectories.
Here's an example:
Set up a new directory, 2 subdirectories and a file:
(debian) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir /tmp/dir
(debian) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir /tmp/dir/colon:
(debian) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir /tmp/dir/subdir
(debian) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date > /tmp/dir/subdir/date.txt
Run dired on the dir, and add the 'R' flag to make the listing
recursive:
C-x d /tmp/dir RET C-u s R RET
The dired buffer looks like this:
----------
/tmp/dir:
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 4 chris chris 96 2006-09-22 00:09 .
drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 512 2006-09-22 00:09 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 chris chris 48 2006-09-22 00:09 colon:
drwxr-xr-x 2 chris chris 72 2006-09-22 00:09 subdir
/tmp/dir/./colon::
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 chris chris 48 2006-09-22 00:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 chris chris 96 2006-09-22 00:09 ..
/tmp/dir/./subdir:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 chris chris 72 2006-09-22 00:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 chris chris 96 2006-09-22 00:09 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 30 2006-09-22 00:09 date.txt
----------
If I move down to the 'date.txt' file and hit 'f' to find the file, I
see an error:
dired-get-file-for-visit: File no longer exists; type `g' to update
dired buffer
Notice the '/./' in the paths in the dired buffer. This doesn't happen
if the 'colon:' directory is removed.
I suspect Emacs is looking for the "/tmp/dir/./subdir:" line to work out
which directory to find the file in, and getting confused by the line
ending "colon:". Will the "/tmp/dir/./subdir:" line always begin with a
'/'? If so, that would be a way not to get confused.
Chris.
