Hello!
Can this error message be clarified? The directory already exists, it is
not a file.
lib/mkdir-p.c:200 contains this line of code that triggers below:-
error (0, mkdir_errno, _("cannot create directory %s"), quote (dir));
As it's easy enough to know that the reason mkdir fails is because
'test' a directory that already exists.
Easy enough to check with stat() and S_ISDIR(sb.st_mode)
Can this be changed? Maybe I can make a patch for it.
Jonny
