Patch from Michael Tokarev:
Scenario: touch x -- creates plain file name `x' mkdir x -- exits successefully libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains the following code: if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) { /* If we failed for any other reason than the directory * already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/ if (errno != EEXIST) { fail_msg = "create"; umask(mask); break; } /* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change * permissions if it was the full target. Note that * this is not an error conditon. */ if (!c) { umask(mask); return 0; } } The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory* already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause this error to be returned. Proper way IMHO will be is to stat() the path and check whenever this is really a directory. Below (attached) is a patch to fix this issue.
