Package: fileutils
Version: 4.0-2.1
Severity: normal
File: /bin/mv
mv attempts to move directories when rename() fails. This causes code
which relied on the old behavior to determine whether files existed on the
same filesystem to fail in horrible ways.
There should either be an option to request this new behavior, or an
option to disable it.

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/48038 in Debian BTS
against the package fileutils. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
I was unable to find a bug that explains the reason for its removal,
but it appears to have been superceded by coreutils (which is an
essential package) on Mon, 30 Sep 2002 12:24:37 -0400.
I have decided not forward these bugs to coreutils, since a lot
could have been changed in these 8 years. If your issue is still
reproducible or still valid, do not hesitate to reopen and reassign
it or reply to this email.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
