After reading the manuals of install(1) and chflags(1), you try this: # install -f 0 /path/to/foo /path/to/bar install: 0: invalid flag It seems that install -f doesn't support octal numbers. There isn't a sing= le keyword that clears all file flags, so to use only install, you'd have to do this: # install -f noarch,dump,noopaque,nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouarch,nouchg,nouhi= dden,nouoffline,nourdonly,nousparse,nousystem,noureparse,nouunlnk /path/to/foo /path/to/bar A workaround would be to use both install and chflags: # install /path/to/foo /path/to/bar # chflags 0 /path/to/bar I've attached a patch for /head/usr.bin/xinstall/xinstall.c. This patch ad= ds octal number support for install -f. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
