Creating symlink byacc.tar.gz -> byacc-20050813.tgz But byacc-20050813.tgz doesn't exist, because wget didn't rename the downloaded byacc.tar.gz before overwriting it with the symlink which now points to a non-existant file.
caused by the to11 patch, I'll remove that as it causes to many problems.
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.
Reproducible. $ rpm -q wget wget-1.10.2-16.fc8
seems to be fixed in wget-1.11.1, please try the latest wget package from rawhide and reopen if you still can reproduce it.
New test-case: wget -N ftp://invisible-island.net/byacc/byacc.tar.gz
reported upstream and has been confirmed as a bug in 1.10 and 1.11
Which upstream bug corresponds to this?
Never mind. Here's the thread where Karsten reported the problem: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.general/8029 And here's the bug report on Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?23107 It's not entirely clear to me that the descriptions for these two reports (Redhat's and Savannah's) are consistent. This one seems to be about overwriting files with a symlink, whereas the Savannah report focuses on retrieving the real file instead of the symlink.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

$ rpm -q wget wget-1.13.4-2.fc17.x86_64
Created attachment 627449 [details] Patch for wget-1.14 solving this issue Hi. I wrote a patch for this issue for wget-1.14 source and would like to ask anybody to review it. I posted this patch also on upstream page (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?23107). Thanks!
There is one issue, that the patch doesn't handle correctly. Particularly creation of the new URL from the path to which the symlink points is not handled always OK. Example: Original URL: ftp://192.168.100.12/333/link SymLink: link -> ../001/002/byacc.tar.gz New URL will be: ftp://192.168.100.12/../001/002/byacc.tar.gz which will pass OK (but is not correct), but there are some cases, when it doesn't have to work as it should. I'm not sure how to do this correctly, therefore I'm posting it here for discussion.
