I agree with Andrew. The marker for a directory is the slash (if such marker is needed, at all). /* is either a file (if shell globbing is disabled, or if provided between quotes), or all files under the directory (if globbing is enabled).
As such, marking this bug INVALID (not-a-bug). ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- 'cp' needs to read the wildcard (*) on the desintation folder as the destination folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
