Subject: [gentoo-dev] coreutils >=5.0.1 breaks chown user.group on new systems
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:41:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200310072141.00314.mlist-catcher@gmx.net> (raw)

Hello,

After building my new system last week, I've found out, that the chown doesn't 
accept the dot-version (user.group) anymore (except when we downgrade the 
posix version with an environment variable).

bash-2.05b# chown florian.users blah
chown: `florian.users': invalid user

This also means that a lot of ebuilds have to be fixed.

On my system, 16 ebuild are affected, and at least six are from the system 
layout (mailbase man portage baselayout slocate linux-headers)

You can read more here:

Regards,

Florian
