Note that (in bash at least) you can prefix the command with a
backslash (\) to override an alias for that in
Hi Polehn,
The -f option isn't `suppress interactive' in cp. It attempts to unlink
a destination not to be able to override. It's different from the option
in mv.
As the behavior is clearly defined in POSIX as Eric says, we won't be
able to change it.
BTW, I don't like the alias `cp -i'. So I

It might be easier to guess that there is an alias

The behavior of -i vs. -f interaction is required by POSIX; in
particular, POSIX is explicit that -i and -f are NOT a toggle switch of
one another,
Hi Assaf!
Thank you for your quick response!
There is always multiple ways to do things. The git tool has a diff tool built
in that makes file comparison easy.
I have run across multiple times that copying one tree over another is
desirable.
In another bug message thread, we found that the ca

You were logged in as a normal user.
I was logged in as root.
I tried as normal user and it worked the same as you.
However, logged in as root and the error occurred as before.
Did a search for 'cp -I' and found it for root:

I do not observe the symptoms that you report. See below. My guess is that
you've aliased 'cp' to 'cp -i', which is probably a mistake.

That's not what I observe here (see below). Perhaps there's something else
going on, maybe an alias. For example, I couldn't get the cp to work without
