Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.6-3
I am running a recent kernel and AFAIK it supports lchown.
but chown does not recognize it:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 christop chris 1 Jan 31 22:02 y -> x
cyrix200:/usr/home/chris# chown -h root.root y
chown: --no-dereference (-h) is not supported on this system
cyrix200:/usr/home/chris#
Is this a libc6 issue or a tool issue?
