I had the same issue as the original reporter, and as suggested, apt- removing 'rename' reverted it back to the behavior that I had come to expect from the older version.
This problem occurred for me when upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 via the `do-release-upgrade` tool. I agree that the man page is 'correct', but the difference is silent and can put users in an awkward situation via making assumptions based on historic behavior. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1519495 Title: rename (prename) ignores -n parameter in Xenial Daily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rename/+bug/1519495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
