Package: coreutils Version: 8.5-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream With the basename and dirname utilities from GNU Coreutils, one has:
ypig% POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 basename -- basename: missing operand Try `basename --help' for more information. ypig% POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 dirname -- dirname: missing operand Try `dirname --help' for more information. instead of: ypig% busybox basename -- -- ypig% busybox dirname -- . According to POSIX[*], basename and dirname take no options (examples in POSIX also assume that), so that this would make BusyBox's behavior correct.
