I should add that this a bug because the default behaviours of /bin/chmod and /bin/chown are different. One works on the link itself and the other works on the link target. chmod and chown together as paired commands are frequently used in install scripts. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108455463900002&r=1&w=2 for the entire thread I took the upstream patch and built 5.2.1-9 with the patch applied. |
