Package: coreutils Version: 8.20-3 Severity: minor When trying to delete not-empty directory that cannot be deleted by rights on parent dir with option --ignore-fail-on-non-empty user got simply 'failed to remove' message, without exact reason. When trying to delete empty directory that cannot be deleted by rights - it says nothing and exit status is zero. Example: $ mkdir d1 $ mkdir d1/d2 $ chmod a-w d1 $ rmdir d1/d2/ rmdir: failed to remove 'd1/d2/': Permission denied $ rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty d1/d2/ $ echo $? 0 $ touch d1/d2/f1 $ rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty d1/d2/ rmdir: failed to remove 'd1/d2/' $ rmdir d1/d2/ rmdir: failed to remove 'd1/d2/': Permission denied
I think rmdir should say 'Permission denied' with exit status 1 in first case and say 'Permission denied' or do not report error in second case -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libacl1 2.2.51-8 ii libattr1 1:2.4.46-8 ii libc6 2.16-0experimental1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
