Hi all,

is this wanted behaviour?

address@hidden bin]$ cd /tmp
address@hidden tmp]$ mkdir myDir
address@hidden tmp]$ rmdir -v myDir/ 2>/dev/null
address@hidden tmp]$ mkdir myDir
address@hidden tmp]$ rmdir -v myDir/ 1>/dev/null
rmdir: Verzeichnis wird entfernt, myDir/
address@hidden tmp]$

Sadly I'm no good programmer but I think latest coreutils' rmdir still behaves this way.

I compared to 'rm -v' and this does not write to stderr but to stdout its verbose messages.

Thx
Rainer
