Erm... confused myself. You are mixing 'cd' (which is a shell command) with 'ls' (which is part of coreutils). For example: I created, under ~, two directories: ~/test, and ~/test/test1: cerdea@piatam:~$ ls -la test total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 cerdea cerdea 4096 Dec 5 10:42 ./ drwxr-xr-x 69 cerdea cerdea 4096 Dec 5 11:04 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 cerdea cerdea 4096 Dec 5 10:43 test1/ I also created a soft link ~/test-sl -> test/test1: cerdea@piatam:~$ ls -l | grep test-sl lrwxrwxrwx 1 cerdea cerdea 10 Dec 5 10:44 test-sl -> test/test1/ Now, under ~, I cd to test-sl: cerdea@piatam:~$ cd test-sl cerdea@piatam:~/test-sl$ pwd /home/cerdea/test-sl cerdea@piatam:~/test-sl$ echo $OLDPWD /home/cerdea So bash knows I am under a soft-linked directory, and shows me that. Now I 'ls ..': cerdea@piatam:~/test-sl$ ls .. test1/ And ~/test1 is shown -- correctly, since 'ls' uses the *actual* path. But bash, being helpful, still use $OLDPWD to 'cd -' or 'cd ..': cerdea@piatam:~/test-sl$ cd - /home/cerdea cerdea@piatam:~$ -- ..hggdh.. -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality

Hi Bernard, First of all, you *can* use ubuntu-bug without a crash report. As Brian pointed out, you can use: ubuntu-bug where is the package you want to report on. In this case, I am *guessing* you want to complain about 'ls's behaviour, so you would run: ubuntu-bug coreutils Since 'ls' is part of the coreutils package. Now, for the script file you attached: you have, under ~/Downloads, a series of soft links to directories under /data. This can be seen here: bernard@linbox:~/Downloads$ ls -l Also, your CWD is ~/Downloads. total 875452 lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard26 déc. 2 00:53 00-ANIMATION -> /data/LIBRARY/09-ANIMATION lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard22 déc. 1 23:32 01-BOOKS -> /data/LIBRARY/01-BOOKS lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard19 déc. 2 00:50 02-BD -> /data/LIBRARY/08-BD lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard23 déc. 2 00:23 03-MUSIC -> /data/LIBRARY/03-MUSIC/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard23 déc. 1 23:51 04-FILMS -> /data/LIBRARY/04-FILMS/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard23 déc. 2 02:38 05-UNREAD -> /data/LIBRARY/10-UNREAD lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard21 déc. 2 02:37 06-ISO -> /data/LIBRARY/06-ISO/ We know they are soft links because of the first character in the permissions field: 'l'. You now 'cd 06-ISO'. Since '06-ISO' is a soft link, your CWD is now moved to the *actual* directory pointed to by the soft link: /data/LIBRARY/06-ISO. And, from now on, any directory command will be based on the CWD, which is /data/LIBRARY/06-ISO, *not* ~/Downloads/06-ISO. So, if this is what you were trying to report, it is working as expected.

Re: Unable to report bug
Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply. I've been using Ubuntu for years, and it's an OS i like very much. I'm not attempting to report a bug about ubuntu-bug but a bug with ubuntu-bug. What i can't do without a core dump or crash report ... You'll find attached a 'script' file that show how Ubuntu behave in a particular situation and that, by comparison, do not react as the other OSes i'm actually working on. Feel free to transmit this or not to your team. Any further questions welcome.

Unable to report bug
Hi, I'm attempting to report you what i think is a bug (because other unix systems i know don't behave the same way). The problem is that i have no crash report to provide because my system is working properly, but it works properly the wrong way. So i have two problems: 1/ I have no crash report to provide to identify the problem cause i have 2/ I am unable to report the bug to launchpad because the system does not open the browser page I tried ubuntu-bug which sent something somewhere but didn't allow me to describe the problem. Could you please tell me how i should proceed ?
