there seems to be a weird bug with the "rm" command, at least
with "rm (coreutils) 4.5.3".
This is an quite old version of, the latest stable is 5.0.
Just try the following commands,
rm -i a b*
rm -f a b*
in a test directory containing a file named "a" and no file with a
name starting with "b".
I don't know what the bug is supposed to be. -f ignores non-existant
files, so it doesn't print anything if some file doesn't exist.
$ touch a
$ rm -i a b*
rm: remove empty file `a'? y
rm: cannot lstat `b*': No such file or directory
$ touch a
$ rm -f a b*
$
