I can't reproduce the problem on my Debian stable host, using coreutils 6.9.91: $ mkdir -p a/b/c a/b/d e $ touch a/b/c/foo a/b/d/foo $ cp -p --parent a/b/c e cp: omitting directory `a/b/c' > I'm not sure if reseting the permissions of the already existing directories > is the right thing to do. At least it is the same behavior that cp had before > the above commit. It sounds like some fix is needed, but I'm afraid I don't understand the bug or the patch yet. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
