the mmv package includes debian/patches/better-diagnostics-for-directories-584850.diff Which is buggy: if ((ffrom->fi_stflags & FI_ISDIR) ? !dirs : !fils) #endif + { + if (verbose) + printf("ignoring directory %s\n", ffrom->fi_name); return(0); + } As can be seen from the above line, mmv decides to ignore an entry depending on the type (ffrom->fi_stflags & FI_ISDIR) and to some input flags (dirs for directories, and fils for files). As a result, when ignoring files, this buggy message is displayed "ignore directory xxxxxxx.txt", where xxx is obviously not a directory. As a result, hundred of bogus lines are displayed when using mmv, even without the -r option.
I'm quite sure upstream would be interested in this as well...
Problem is that there's no 'upstream'. The package is clearly orphan. Debian kinda has adopted it, but i gave up trying to report a bug on their bugzilla after 10minutes reading through their websites. Seems like they want an email instead of web reports.
Could you either remove the lines from the debian patch, or add a 'gentoo-specific' patch ? I currently use this patch in my local overlay: diff -u -ur mmv-1.01b.orig.save/mmv.c mmv-1.01b.orig/mmv.c --- mmv.c 2018-07-18 13:32:41.381865687 +0200 +++ mmv.c 2018-07-18 13:32:01.209764252 +0200 @@ -1204,11 +1204,7 @@ getstat(pathbuf, ffrom); if ((ffrom->fi_stflags & FI_ISDIR) ? !dirs : !fils) #endif - { - if (verbose) - printf("ignoring directory %s\n", ffrom->fi_name); return(0); - } if (needslash) { strcpy(pathend + *pk, SLASHSTR);
