bug#14024: Test failure in coreutils 8.13

[Ellis N. Thomas]

Pádraig,

        The Gnu "bug-coreutils Archives" does not seem to have linked
my reply message of April 10, 2013, and your reply as below, to our
previous messages for bug#14024 on and before March 27, 2013.

        See my message of 27 March 2013 21:08:09 GMT (in archive as 17:08)
for details about the file system.

        I have repeated the echo... sequence below (remember this is now 8.21
not 8.13 following your message of Fri, 22 March 2013 12:45:56 GMT and  
my
response of Wed, 27 March 2013 11:47:30 GMT).

 >echo test > a
 >/usr/local/bin/install -Cv -m0644 a b
'a' -> 'b'
 >/usr/local/bin/stat a b
  File: 'a'

 >/usr/local/bin/install -Cv -m0644 a b
removed 'b'
'a' -> 'b'

	The result in my message of 27 March 2013 21:08:09 GMT used /usr/bin/ 
stat
not /usr/local/bin/stat and there was no response to the second install.

        Hope this helps
                Ellis
