Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2
Severity: normal

I have no clue what goes wrong here. All I can say is it doesn't work as advertised, it doesn't do what, according to copy.c, it should (not that
that code is easy to really grok).

An os.rename in Python does give the correct EXDEV that mv expects.

Is my system screwed up, or did no-one care to report this, using the
obvious workarounds instead?

Any idea on how to debug this?
