Package: hurd Version: 1:0.9.git20191228-1 Severity: normal I first reported this on the mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2020/03/msg00023.html
Now I logged in on the porterbox (exodar.debian.net) to try and reproduce, and voilà, I can: tg@exodar:~$ rm a b tg@exodar:~$ :>a tg@exodar:~$ sleep 1 tg@exodar:~$ :>b tg@exodar:~$ stat a b | grep ^Mod Modify: 2020-03-29 03:54:03.000000000 +0200 Modify: 2020-03-29 03:54:09.000000000 +0200 tg@exodar:~$ sleep 1 tg@exodar:~$ :>a tg@exodar:~$ stat a b | grep ^Mod Modify: 2020-03-29 03:54:03.000000000 +0200 Modify: 2020-03-29 03:54:09.000000000 +0200 For comparison, this is how it looks on GNU/Linux: tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ rm a b tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ :>a tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ sleep 1 tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ :>b tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ stat a b | grep ^Mod Modify: 2020-03-29 03:58:04.989345171 +0200 Modify: 2020-03-29 03:58:05.993371946 +0200 tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ sleep 1 tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ :>a tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ stat a b | grep ^Mod Modify: 2020-03-29 03:58:07.001398828 +0200 Modify: 2020-03-29 03:58:05.993371946 +0200 Sub-second timestamps aside, you’ll notice how the first of the two stat(1) lines updated. This is the common expectation for the command true, redirected to a file. Please reassign to the correct package, should I be mistaken. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: hurd-i386 (i686-AT386) Kernel: GNU-Mach 1.8+git20191117-486-dbg/Hurd-0.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages hurd depends on: ii hurd-libs0.3 1:0.9.git20191228-1 ii libblkid1 2.34-0.1 ii libc0.3 2.29-10 ii libdaemon0 0.14-7 ii libgcrypt20 1.8.5-5 ii liblwip0 2.1.2+dfsg1-6 ii libncursesw6 6.2-1 ii libpciaccess0 0.16-1+hurd.1 ii libtinfo6 6.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.9-2 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 ii sysv-rc 2.96-2.1 ii xkb-data 2.29-2 Versions of packages hurd recommends: ii bf-utf-source 0.08 ii netdde 0.0.20150828-8 Versions of packages hurd suggests: pn hurd-doc <none> -- no debconf information
