Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.4-14
Severity: normal

The chgrp builtin (and chown?) does not dereference symlinks, though
POSIX requires symlinks to be dereferenced by default. Moreover, the
behavior on symlinks is not documented in the zshmodules(1) man page.

There are still missing features (options) compared to POSIX chgrp,
but I think that at least the default behavior and supported options
should be the same as in POSIX.
