I agree. Error reporting is important. Unhandled errors can easily cause big
problems.

Well, I'm using Mandriva Linix Spring 2007. I search for the error strings, but
coild not find them.
It's strange that "setting attributes for %s" is not translated as all other
strings in coreutils are.
So it must come from somwere else. I don't know if Mandriva has patched things
from SELinux,
but I have not found any evidence for that.

Which I can't do as I'm not running it.

Yes, I have already downloaded 6.9 compiled and installed it in /usr/local/.
I had to rearrange PATH a little.
And the error does NOT show up. However, the "-f" or "--force" flag does not
seem to work.
Even with it, I get a question about overwriting.
