Package: coreutils
Version: 5.96-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

To be brief :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir -p test1/test test2/test; touch test1/test/file; 
mv test2/* test1/
mv: cannot move `test2/test' to a subdirectory of itself, `test1/test'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp#

It seems to be an incorrect error message, but I think that this bug is
related to #376743 because with version 5.94-1 of coreutils, I have this
output :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir -p test1/test test2/test; touch test1/test/file; 
mv test2/* test1/
mv: cannot overwrite directory `test1/test'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp#


Regards.

Current version displays error message: "Directory not empty", which hopefully is more clear.
