Bug Description

Binary package hint: coreutils

tmende@localhost:~> ls -ld /mountpoint
drwxrwx--- 7 tmende tmende 7 2010-01-12 09:43 /mountpoint

tmende@localhost:~> sudo df | grep mountpoint
foo:/bar 6073304 1875144 4198160 31% /mountpoint

tmende@localhost:~$ sudo df /mountpoint
df: `/mountpoint': Permission denied
df: no file systems processed

This is on karmic, coreutils 7.4-2ubuntu1. On intrepid (coreutils 6.10-6ubuntu1) the last command works fine.

It seems this is the same bug as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551577.

Changed in coreutils (Debian):
