Same issue occurs on Fedora 9: * coreutils-6.10-30.fc9.i386 * Fedora release 9 (Sulphur) * kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 * policycoreutils-2.0.52-8.fc9.i386 * selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-87.fc9.noarch * selinux-policy-3.3.1-87.fc9.noarch * libselinux-python-2.0.67-4.fc9.i386 * libselinux-2.0.67-4.fc9.i386 * selinux-policy-devel-3.3.1-87.fc9.noarch SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 23 Policy from config file: targeted Thanks for report, after discussing problem with upstream, decision to remove that option from help was made. Source code with support for that option is not implemented in recent upstream version. Will be fixed in next Fedora builds. (Jim Meyering (upstream maintainer of coreutils) said: FYI, implementing semantics of -c (reliably) is not possible, and adds unnecessary complexity, so I removed it.) Built without mentioning '-c' option in help and man as coreutils-6.12-13.fc10. Closing RAWHIDE. (Update for F-9 doing the same thing will be done soon (with other fixes)) |
