Dear Gnu Team,
First off: Thanks for existing!! :)))
I think I just found a bug in chown... \o/ ;)
Details about my GNU/Linux system:
Debian wheezy stable 7.2
dpkg -S /bin/chown
coreutils: /bin/chown
dpkg -l|grep coreutils
ii coreutils 8.13-3.5 amd64 GNU core utilities
uname -a
Linux seven 3.10-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.11-1~bpo70+1
(2013-09-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh
I tried:
chown 1001: /tmp/bla
Leading to:
chown: invalid spec: `1001:'
But as 1001 == "me", it should have done a:
chown me: /tmp/bla
(which works just fine).
Is this a bug or a feature ?
... it should be a bug except if there is a technical detail I am
missing here.
Best,
Tormen
