Seems to be fixed silently.
I now get: $ cp -v .bashrc /tmp/ '.bashrc' -> '/tmp/.bashrc' $ cp /tmp/does_not_exist . cp: Aufruf von stat für '/tmp/does_not_exist' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden $ cp cp: Fehlender Dateioperand „cp --help“ liefert weitere Informationen. which is ok. I'm using ubuntu 16.04, therefore I haven't tested it with 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to coreutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359990 Title: Strange quotation in german messages. i.e. 'cp -v .bashrc /tmp/' outputs: ».bashrc“ -> »/tmp/.bashrc“ Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is about a strange quotation in some german messages, see: $ cp -v .bashrc /tmp/ ».bashrc“ -> »/tmp/.bashrc“ $ cp /tmp/does_not_exist . cp: der Aufruf von stat für »/tmp/does_not_exist“ ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden I'm talking about the » and “ characters. They should be „ and “, as can be found in the usage message of cp: $ cp cp: Fehlender Dateioperand „cp --help“ liefert weitere Informationen. The english messages all use ' for the quotation marks, which is ok: $ LANG=C cp -v .bashrc /tmp/ '.bashrc' -> '/tmp/.bashrc' I'd like to sum up the german wikipedia on quotation marks (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anführungszeichen): * When using a typewriter, both "..." or '...' can be used. * In germany and austria, both „...“ and »...« can be used. I'd prefer „...“, as the latter is not widely used in germany. * In switzerland, liechtenstein and france, «…» is used. Note that " (typewriter version) and “ (to be used together with „) are different characters. Sure, there are many possibilities, but the current messages are wrong! I'd prefer '...' at least for the output of 'cp -v ...', as this might be parsed in some shell scripts. For consistency, I would vote for using '...' everywhere. Alternatively, using „...“ everywhere would also be a good choice.
