This is fixed upstream in version 4.1.0 See http://www.enjoy.ne.jp/~gm/program/cpbk/ There's a deb package there which I recommend since Debian unstable doesn't have this version yet. However, the software is still buggy wrt file permissions: $ sudo cpbk /dev /tmp/dev Searching source files and building lists... Done Searching destination files and building lists... Done Comparing files and generating order lists... Done $ ls -la /dev/fd0 /tmp/dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 May 14 11:30 /dev/fd0 brw-r----- 1 root floppy 2, 0 May 14 11:30 /tmp/dev/fd0 :-( But upstream is working on it. :-) Peter
