Description Luciano Rocha 2002-10-10 16:16:34 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20021010

Description of problem:
the command rmdir -p fails when there's a trailing slash '/' in the path.
It succeeds in deleting the last component, but complains as if it didn't exist
and aborts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mkdir -p a/b/c
2.rmdir -p a/b/c/
3.ls a/b
	

Actual Results:  c deleted, mkdir complains c doesn't exist, aborts

Expected Results:  c deleted, b deleted, a deleted, no complain :)
