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.
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).
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.
