Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5
Severity: normal

"mv -v" does not output anything when it moves one hardlink of a file over 
another:

   cerebro /tmp/tst# touch a
   cerebro /tmp/tst# touch b
   cerebro /tmp/tst# mv -v a b
   `a' -> `b'
   cerebro /tmp/tst# touch x
   cerebro /tmp/tst# ln x y
   cerebro /tmp/tst# mv -v x y
   cerebro /tmp/tst# 

The second mv should output `x' -> `y', but doesn't output anything (the
operation is correctly executed, though).

I reported a bug where mv failed to do the move operation in this case
some time ago (which was fixed promptly), likely the fix for that problem
was imperfect with regards to -v.
