Description Arnon Weinberg 2012-12-23 08:32:48 UTC
Description of problem:
In ksh, changing to a hidden directory using a path that contains the parent directory (..) fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
>rpm -q ksh
ksh-20120801-3.fc17.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd ~/.ssh
2. cd ../.ssh
  
Actual results:
-ksh: cd: /home/user/ssh: [No such file or directory]

Expected results:
No error.

Additional info:
In my /etc directory, there are both java and .java directories.  I get this result:
# cd /etc/.java
# cd ../.java
# pwd
/etc/java

which suggests that the dot (.) part of the directory name is being stripped as per the error above.

Thanks for reporting this.
Reproducible

Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2013-01-25 14:04:44 UTC
I still did not receive any comments about my patch from upstream, but it takes quite long, so I'll use it anyway.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 07:45:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
