>Description:
Look at How-To-Repeat.
>How-To-Repeat:
# mkdir -p x/y/z/
# rmdir -p x/y/z/ % Note on trailing slash. This command cannot
% be bug, I think...
rmdir: x/y/z: No such file or directory
% Hmm. But directory z was removed, x and y
% remain...
>Fix:
Here is a small patch. But I don't think, it is the best solution:
--- rmdir.c Mon May 4 14:01:05 1998

*** 94,99 ****

{
char *p;
+ p = strchr(path, '\0');
+ while (--p > path && *p == '/')
+ ;
+ *++p = '\0';
while ((p = strrchr(path, '/')) != NULL) {
/* Delete trailing slashes. */
while (--p > path && *p == '/')
