Description (last modified by )
There is a bug in coreutils-9.0 causing chmod -R to return non-zero when the directory contains dangling symlinks. It's minor, but breaking one test script in glibc-2.35 (will be released soon) if the tests are run as a non-root user (so not affecting LFS). And it also has the potential to break other scripts with set -e (for example, jhalfs).
I've added the patch into patches repository, named coreutils-9.0-chmod_fix-1.patch.
Note that this patch is needed in both Chapter 6 and Chapter 8, because it will affect glibc test.

Maybe we can close this as WONTFIX then, but OTOH it's reported in {b,}lfs-dev several times and the upstream confirms it as a bug and has fixed it.

It does not break glibc test (in LFS), because the affected one,
io/ftwtest, is skipped running as root.
