Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.3p2-9 Severity: wishlist When copying a file to a remote directory which does not exist, the error message "Is a directory" is misleading and can be confusing to users. For example,
(no /www/tmp/ directory on maircrosoft.com) $ scp interesting/story maircrosoft.com:/www/tmp/ scp: /www/tmp/: Is a directory really means "Is *not* a directory" ... A better message might be along the lines of "[Directory] does not exist and cannot rename a file to [Directory] as [Directory] may only be the name of a directory" -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii add 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii deb 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii dpk 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii lib 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lib 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2etch1 common error description library ii lib 2.9.cvs.20050518-2.2 BSD editline and history libraries ii lib 1.4.4-7etch4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii lib 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii lib 0.9.8c-4etch1 SSL shared libraries ii pas 1:4.0.18.1-7 change and administer password and ii zli 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime openssh-client recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- I am a happy person -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
