Squeeze. Can't cd in directory which begin with .

10-04-2010, 03:09 PM

Hello, list!

After recent dist-upgrade was surprised with a loss of an ability to
change a directory, which begin with dot. For example, home dir in
gnome-terminal:
$ cd ./wine
bash: cd: ./wine: No such file or directory

Meanwhile, I did it successfully just one reboot ago.

Autocomplete is gone also for that type of dirs.

Please, help to fix!

The correct way is without '/'. The name of directory is '.wine', not './wine'
$ cd .wine

"./wine" <> ".wine"

"./wine" == "wine"

$ dir | grep snaggle

. (dot) is the current working directory and / (slash) is the pathname
separator (on UNIX). So ./wine is actually a path where the first
component is the current working directory and the second component is
"wine", so you're saying "the file named 'wine' in the current working
directory". ".wine" is a filename beginning with a dot.

If you're still confused, try these commands...
$ ls -a
$ ls .
$ ls ./
$ ls ..
(.. (dot dot) is the parent directory)
