Its web page is http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=10430 The reporter complains that the first command below should look just like the second but with a total.

Barclay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (X11; U; Linux 2.0.27 i486) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "du -sc ...xxx ...xxx/*" skips directories Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Package: fileutils Version: 3.13-4 The du utility (/usr/bin/du) sometimes gets confused when it is given overlapping arguments of the form "...xxx" and "...xxx/*", along with the "-s" and "-s" flags. I say sometimes because I thought I saw some cases in which du worked correctly. (However, I can't find any such cases at the moment.) The symptom is that it prints results for the "...xxx" directory, but prints nothing for the "...xxx/*" directories. (It does print data for "...xxx/*" _files_.) Example 1 (breaks, with or without trailing slashes): I have a directory with a number of subdirectories (and one file): $ ls -la /home/daniel/explore/ total 30 drwxr-xr-x 15 daniel users 1024 Apr 12 19:31 . drwxr-xr-x 32 daniel users 6144 Jun 7 19:00 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 336 Apr 19 19:49 .whatsit -rwxr-xr-x 1 daniel users 12916 Sep 10 1995 exp_atomic drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 glob drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Mar 3 1996 hashing drwxr-xr-x 7 daniel users 1024 May 18 19:55 inet drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 ipc drwxr-xr-x 3 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 jobcntl drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 misc drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 modem drwxr-xr-x 3 daniel users 1024 Apr 29 23:18 perl drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 rawio drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 shell drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Mar 18 12:50 shlib drwxr-xr-x 3 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 tape drwxr-xr-x 2 daniel users 1024 Feb 9 16:07 termcap $ "du -sc" seems to work when given a single argument: $ du -sc /home/daniel/explore 7198 /home/daniel/explore 7198 total $ $ du -sc /home/daniel/explore/ 7198 /home/daniel/explore 7198 total $ $ du -sc /home/daniel/explore/* 9 /home/daniel/explore/exp_atomic 39 /home/daniel/explore/glob 6 /home/daniel/explore/hashing 1780 /home/daniel/explore/inet 643 /home/daniel/explore/ipc 246 /home/daniel/explore/jobcntl 3242 /home/daniel/explore/misc 17 /home/daniel/explore/modem 772 /home/daniel/explore/perl 39 /home/daniel/explore/rawio 7 /home/daniel/explore/shell 15 /home/daniel/explore/shlib 362 /home/daniel/explore/tape 19 /home/daniel/explore/termcap 7196 total $ $ du -sc /home/daniel/explore/*/ 39 /home/daniel/explore/glob 6 /home/daniel/explore/hashing 1780 /home/daniel/explore/inet 643 /home/daniel/explore/ipc 246 /home/daniel/explore/jobcntl 3242 /home/daniel/explore/misc 17 /home/daniel/explore/modem 772 /home/daniel/explore/perl 39 /home/daniel/explore/rawio 7 /home/daniel/explore/shell 15 /home/daniel/explore/shlib 362 /home/daniel/explore/tape 19 /home/daniel/explore/termcap 7187 total $ However, combining those (overlapping) arguments confuses du: $ du -s -c /home/daniel/explore /home/daniel/explore/* 7198 /home/daniel/explore 9 /home/daniel/explore/exp_atomic 7207 total $ Specifically, it does not list the _directories_ specified by "/home/daniel/explore/*") I would guess that this is a design problem in the interaction of the -s and -c options. In any case, the "-c" option shouldn't cause requested directories to be suppressed. Daniel -- Daniel S. Barclay [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
