"not a universal problem" is good and bad... good that this is widespread, bad that it's harder to debug on just my system.
I renamed the other rm, (after checking to see if it worked... it does, but even though it can cope with forward slashes, it hates /cygdrive/d/..." I also tried backing down my coreutils and cygwin packages to 6.10-1 and 1.5.25-14, respectively (the oldest ones setup offered) that didn't seem to help. your perl test was a nice try; but it also did not remove the file, which is revealing. did I try downgrading the wrong packages? or is there another direction I should look? -greenup (thanks for the quick help, by the way!) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
