Hello coreutils-maintainers,
I create a long chain of symlinks - ls colors the 41st element as ok while the
kernel already gives up after 40 symlinks:

And probably zypper's options --non-interactive / -y / --no-confirm will do

Hello coreutils maintainers,
test in coreutils 8.30 supports the unary -a test (is the same as -e) but
this is not listed on the manpage (in bash 4.4.12 "help test" does list

I can imagine good reasons to kick out the unary -a but I think it
then should be kicked out of program and man page
