Hi! When I use mv to rename sym link to directory via: mv sym_link/ new_name mv actually rename the directory link point to. In some situation I also got: mv: basename.c:67: base_name: Assertion `all_slashes || *(p - 1) != '/' failed. He is a simple test to reproduce the problem: cd /tmp mkdir test_dir touch test_dir/a ln -s test_dir link1 mv link1/ link2 This will rename test to link2 and left link1 as if. I have also a case when this procedure trigers assert, but it involves renaming a symlink to tree with jdk files and I am not sure what exactly trigers it - I can make a simple test case for you if necessary. I have got the fileutils as a part of RedHat 7.0, there fileutils-4.0x-3.i386.rpm RPM. mv --version mv (GNU fileutils) 4.0x Written by Mike Parker, David MacKenzie, and Jim Meyering.
