Thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.
This is not a bug in coreutils, but the way 'cd' workd by default in
bash. If you want bash to behave as the coreutils utilities, please 'set
-P' (see 'info bash', or 'man bash', and look for the set builtin
options):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ ls -l test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hggdh hggdh 43 2008-09-30 19:57 test ->
tmp/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/my-ppd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ cd test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test $ cd ..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ set -P
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ cd test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd $ cd ..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share $
Specifically, the man page states:
-P If set, the shell does not follow symbolic links when executing
commands such as cd that change the
current working directory. It uses the physical directory structure instead.
By default, bash follows the logical chain of directories when performing
commands which change the current directory.
I am closing this bug as Invalid. If you disagree, please feel free to
reopen.
** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
