Hi Fergus, Verified and confirmed. Please reinstall 8.32 until I can get this reverted in setup. Have requested 9.1 be reverted to test and 8.32 reverted to current stable.

Since updating from coreutils 8.32 I’m getting a weird glitch from cp. If /location1/dir1/ contains additional material to /location2/dir1/ (as might frequently be the case when maintaining a backup) then the command $ cp -vrn /location1/dir1 /location2 should copy the additional material across. (I do this regularly, working in two locations on two machines with a stick to manage the transactions.) Since updating coreutils, this command yields an error message as follows: $ cp -vrn /location1/dir1 /location2 /bin/cp: cannot create directory '/location2/dir1': File exists I haven’t tried any other variations on cp or explored any other commands (e.g. ls) that have altered with the update. This occurs in both 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin.
