Hi, Currently in gentoo, we offer fileutils-4.1.11 and coreutils-4.5.10 (which is currently masked for testing, and we are ready to replace the 3 utils with coreutils, as soon as it goes stable according to GNU).
The problem is a slight modification of one reported here: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2003-01/msg00002.html Now, the results are as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ mkdir test [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ touch test/testfile [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ ln -s test test2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rm test2/ rm: remove directory `test2/'? y rm: cannot remove directory `test2/': Is a directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rmdir test2/ rmdir: `test2/': Not a directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rm test2/ rm: remove directory `test2/'? y rm: cannot remove directory `test2/': Is a directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] temp $ rm test2 rm: remove symbolic link `test2'? y What gives? is it a directory or isn't it? :P Note, that a user pointed my attention to this in gentoo's bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17838 Thanks for your attention, -- Seemant Kulleen Developer and Project Co-ordinator, Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/~seemant Public Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3458780E Key fingerprint = 23A9 7CB5 9BBB 4F8D 549B 6593 EDA2 65D8 3458 780E
