[Bug 1466147] Re: rename.ul regressed

[gregrwm]

in words, rename.ul apparently no longer works unless you cd to the
containing directory and omit the dirname portion from the arguments

Title:
  rename.ul regressed

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  vivid:
    $  rename.ul -V
  rename.ul from util-linux 2.25.2
    $  touch a0 b0
    $  rename.ul -v 0 1 a0
  `a0' -> `a1'
    $  rename.ul -v ./b0 ./b1 ./b0
  `./b0' -> `./b1'
  wily:
    $  rename.ul -V
  rename.ul from util-linux 2.26.2
    $  touch a0 b0
    $  rename.ul -v 0 1 a0
  `a0' -> `a1'
    $  rename.ul -v ./b0 ./b1 ./b0
  (nothing happens)

  i interpret that as a regression.
