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

"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

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

$
$ 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

7 /home/daniel/explore/shell
15 /home/daniel/explore/shlib
362 /home/daniel/explore/tape
19 /home/daniel/explore/termcap

$
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.
