According to JackDesBwa on 6/23/2008 12:50 PM:
| Hello,
|
| I think there is a failure in the french translation of "rmdir".

| This morning I tried to remove a non empty directory and rmdir said it can't
| delete because the file exists.

Can you repeat with 'LC_ALL=C rmdir ...' and see what the English
translation was?  My guess is that the translation is correct, and that
the reason the message is less than stellar is because the errno value
being reported is not very applicable to the situation.  You may also want
to use strace to determine what errno the kernel was returning.  Actually
pasting in the sequence of what you typed at your console, rather than
describing just the resulting error message, would be helpful as well.
