Hi Bernard, First of all, you *can* use ubuntu-bug without a crash report. As Brian pointed out, you can use: ubuntu-bug <package> where <package> 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 bernard 26 déc. 2 00:53 00-ANIMATION -> /data/LIBRARY/09-ANIMATION lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard 22 déc. 1 23:32 01-BOOKS -> /data/LIBRARY/01-BOOKS lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard 19 déc. 2 00:50 02-BD -> /data/LIBRARY/08-BD lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard 23 déc. 2 00:23 03-MUSIC -> /data/LIBRARY/03-MUSIC/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard 23 déc. 1 23:51 04-FILMS -> /data/LIBRARY/04-FILMS/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard 23 déc. 2 02:38 05-UNREAD -> /data/LIBRARY/10-UNREAD lrwxrwxrwx 1 bernard bernard 21 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.
