coreutils 5.92, rm on Solaris, bad error message

: cannot remove directory `tmpdir': Is a directory On a Linux-x86 system, this problem doesn't occur under any version of coreutils I've tried ( 5.2.1, 5.3.0, 5.90, 5.91, 5.92); they all correctly give: rm: cannot remove `tmpdir': Is a directory -- Keith Thompson <[EMAIL P

bug#72567: printf: Incorrect description of "%b"

There are three different descriptions of the printf(1) "%b" format: - printf --help - man printf.1 - info coreutils printf As of release 9.5 and the latest version in git (Thu 2024-08-08 c5725c8c4), the first two incorrectly say that octal escapes are of the form \0 or \0NNN. In fact the \0 can

bug#72568: [PATCH] printf: Fix description of %b format

* src/printf.c: Document that \0 can be followed by 0 to 3 octal digits * doc/coreutils.texi: Change "\0OOO" to "\0NNN" for legibility and consistency with man page and help message. Remove extraneous '\'. --- doc/coreutils.texi | 4 ++-- src/printf.c | 6 -- 2 files changed, 6 insertion

bug#72568: Acknowledgement ([PATCH] printf: Fix description of %b format)

I see I've inadvertently created two bug reports for the same issue, #72567 and #72568. Also, the patch I submitted doesn't mention a bug number. I presume you can resolve that on your end, but let me know if there's anything I need to do. On Sat, Aug 10, 2024 at 8:08 PM GNU bug Tracking System
