Subject: bug#4739: 23.1.50; recursive delete fails
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:02:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eip3ksyi.fsf@turtle.gmx.de> (raw)
In the following situation Emacs signals an error:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/test
$ ln -s /tmp /tmp/test
$ emacs -Q /tmp
Now move point to the 'test' directory, type 'D' and confirm that you
want to delete the directory recursively. An error message appears in
the echo area:
(file-error Removing directory Not a directory /tmp/test/tmp)
In GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.2)
of 2009-10-13 on turtle
(Sorry for not checking a newer version -- Savannah appears to be down,
so I cannot upgrade ATM.)
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10605000
configured using `configure '--build=i486-linux-gnu' 'build_alias=i486-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -g -O2''
