@Phillip Wyett: thank you for correctly setting this bug back into Incomplete, and for the explanation.
@ill: I am sorry, but what really does not work is your explanation of what you expected, and what you got. A bug is a technical report of an error. In a bug report we expect to find -- *at least* -- the bare minimum data that will allow us to zero in the offending package, and check the code/doc/whatever. See, for example, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html Unfortunately, "I expected the --remove-destination argument to work; It didn't work" does not" still does not give us anything to work on. You have not stated what you expected to find, nor what was the result. As an addendum, the full documentation for each of the coreutils utilities is stored under 'info', and the 'man' pages are just a summary. For the full documentation on 'cp', please see: info coreutils 'cp invocation', -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099029 Title: cp command ignores argument --remove-destination To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/1099029/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
