install -D into directory

Hi,

The command ``install -D file /tmp/into/this/directory/'' says:
install: cannot create regular file `/tmp/into/this/directory/': Is a directory

IMHO this is incorrect, I'd expect it to create this directory and install
the file into it with its original name (just as if I manually created
this directory and didn't give -D option to ``install'', or repeated the
filename in the last argument).


coreutils 5.0, linux kernel 2.4.21



bye,

Egmont
