Public bug reported:
Create a directory containing a file, for example:
mkdir d
touch d/f
Now do (yes, running gzip twice):
gzip -f -r d
gzip -f -r d
Look in the directory and you will find the file a.gz.gz.
This is a change from ubuntu versions before precise pangolin: previously gzip
would
not recompress files ending in .gz when run in this way.
** Affects: gzip (Ubuntu)
