rename.ul regressed

[gregrwm]

vivid:
  $ rename.ul -V
rename.ul from util-linux 2.25.2
  $ touch a0 b0
  $ rename.ul -v 0 1 a0
`a0' -> `a1'
  $ rename.ul -v ./b0 ./b1 ./b0
`./b0' -> `./b1'
wily:
  $ rename.ul -V
rename.ul from util-linux 2.26.2
  $ touch a0 b0
  $ rename.ul -v 0 1 a0
`a0' -> `a1'
  $ rename.ul -v ./b0 ./b1 ./b0
(nothing happens)

i interpret that as a regression.

in words, rename.ul apparently no longer works unless you cd to the containing directory and omit the dirname portion from the arguments

[gregrwm (gregrwm)]

when it fails to rename as in the original example it is silent and returns code 4.

As a non-LTS release, 15.10 has a 9-month month support cycle and, as such, the support period is now nearing its end and Ubuntu 15.10 will reach end of life on Thursday, July 28th. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 15.10.
