Package: fmirror
Version: 2:0.8.4-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

I installed fmirror on a debian etch machine (i686) and did
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]> apt-get install fmirror
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]> man fmirror
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]> cd ~/webbackup/
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]> fmirror -s <host> -u <username> -S -r . -l . -p 
<password> -T 0
Result: It deleted /bin !!
This also happens if "-l ." is replaced by "-l /home/username/webbackup" .

Expected result: download into local dir as given in manual.

Surely I missed leaving root before downloading some ftp data but nevertheless 
this is a really bad issue.

Furthermore, it would have removed /home if I had run it unsupervised.

Sincerely,
 M. Braun
