I have a (bad) habit of removing directories using 'rm -rdf' instead
of 'rmdir'. Recently, I modified my bad habit to include verbose
output. So, I was removing an old kernel today for which GRUB refused
to remove the /lib/modules directory because of an NVidia module I had
installed, and I had to remove it myself:
AMD64X2-5600:/lib/modules# rm -vrdf 2.6.24.080306.amd64x2.vesa/
removed `2.6.24.080306.amd64x2.vesa//kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko'
removed directory: `2.6.24.080306.amd64x2.vesa//kernel/drivers/ video'
removed directory: `2.6.24.080306.amd64x2.vesa//kernel/drivers'
removed directory: `2.6.24.080306.amd64x2.vesa//kernel'
removed directory: `2.6.24.080306.amd64x2.vesa/'
The directory structure was removed just fine, but the verbose output
is clearly wrong with those double slashes. (Of course, I did not
intend to add the slash, but 'bash' completion put it there when I hit
tab.)
(This is my first report to the Debian BTS, so be gentle. ;) I would
have set the severity to "wishlist", but I had a second thought
because someone might try to use the verbose output in a script.)
