I might be missing something here; I can't reproduce this with a recent cp (from FC2): $ cp --version cp (coreutils) 5.2.1 $ make -s cp $ The source and dest appear identical, and strace shows cp unlinking "1/d/2" and "1/d/3" as it goes. >The original bug report is here: > >https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128874 "You are not authorized to access bug #128874" Cheers, Phil _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
