Package: libruby1.8
Version: 1.8.2-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
in the attached script you can find a detailed description of what
seems to be a bug in fileutils.rb. Namely, that FileUtils.mv(o, d)
fails to remove 'o' after copying to 'd' if the files are in separate
partitions.
As noted in the script, two other Debian users have been able to
reproduce, and another two non-Debian users failed to.
Thanks.

# This Ruby program tries to check whether FileUtils.mv does
# successfully remove the original file when moving across different
# partitions. If your system has separate partitions for /tmp and /home,
# it should work out of the box for you.
#
# Reproducible by me and two other people in #ruby-lang, who were both
# Debian users. Other people, using other distros, failed to reproduce.

### Now try to open 'from', to see if it was successfully removed or
### not. Note that if it wasn't removed, the above FileUtils.mv call
### seems to return nil instad of 0.
