That test is failing because your system allows "touch symlink-to-file-specified-with-trailing-slash/" to succeed, e.g., here is how it's supposed to work, but on your system touch (mistakenly) succeeds: $ : > k && ln -s k j && touch j/ touch: setting times of 'j/': Not a directory When a non-directory name is specified with a trailing slash, many interfaces are required by POSIX to fail with ENOTDIR. It looks like one of those on your system goes ahead and performs the requested operation as if that slash were not present. We can probably teach gnulib to detect and work around this flaw.
