The following reply was made to PR bin/2040; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Wolfram Schneider <wosch@cs.tu-berlin.de> To: charnier@xp11.frmug.org Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: bin/2040: make world fails after cp -pR of /usr/bin Date: Sun, 17 Nov 1996 14:30:32 +0100 > cp -pR breaks hard links, (chpass, chfn, chsh, ypchpass, ypchfn and >ypchsh become 6 differents programs). Use tar or cpio for coping, e.g.: $ tar cf - /usr/bin | (cd /backup; tar xf -) (the patch seems ok). Wolfram
