Strange. The "-t" after mv got missing. But it was working at some
point... guess that was when it was still the "mv" command, and then
this command line was not checked in all cases.
I’ll add it, retry my tests, and come back.
BTW, this line (with "-t" after mv") ought to do the same as
mv $path/* /usr/lib/ghc-doc/haddock/
without failing when $path is empty. Is there a nicer way than find and
xargs?
Greetings,
Joachim
