Subject: long filename fools diff-backup?
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 12:44:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8765kmibxd.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
In dired I hit ESC =, and see:
diff-backup: No backup found for
/var/lib/apt/lists/debian.linux.org.tw_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages
Ha! I bet the long file name fooled it, as both
debian.linux.org.tw_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages
debian.linux.org.tw_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages~
exist.
When I put the cursor on the backup, it works.
When I touch the same long filenames into /tmp, they both work.
