Description Scott K Logan 2012-03-21 07:12:11 UTC

Description of problem:
Using -L should show ACL information with dereferenced symlinks to directories.
Specifically, if ACL information is present on a folder, it's dereferenced symlink should show '+' at the end of the mode.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Bug is NOT present in coreutils-8.12-2.fc16
Bug IS present in coreutils-8.12-6.fc16


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir d
2. ln -s d l
3. setfacl -nm u:daemon:rx d
4. ls -dl -L l
  
Actual results:
Mode shows a '.' at the end, ex drwxrwxr-x.


Expected results:
Mode should show a '+' at the end, ex drwxrwxr-x+


Additional info:
This bug makes it impossible to build the acl RPM, as it causes one of the tests to fail.

Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2012-03-21 07:32:56 UTC

Thanks for report - probably caused by fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692823 . Seems to work correctly in rawhide and f17 (coreutils-8.15).

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2012-03-21 08:09:31 UTC

Ok confirmed, the fix for 692823 caused the regression in ls ... which was solved by http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=80af92afd10f9ed1c3621432145baf4a32ab5cea . However, upstream reverted both patches, as the commit introduces performance regression in common case for a little gain in uncommon one.
