Description
The autotools util-linux compile requires touch -f
which throws an error using touch
from uutils coreutils.
As per coreutils 9.7:
touch --help
Usage: touch [OPTION]... FILE...
Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.
A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h
is supplied.
A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to
change the times of the file associated with standard output.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a change only the access time
-c, --no-create do not create any files
-d, --date=STRING parse STRING and use it instead of current time
-f (ignored)
-h, --no-dereference affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced
file (useful only on systems that can change the
timestamps of a symlink)
-m change only the modification time
-r, --reference=FILE use this file's times instead of current time
-t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] use specified time instead of current time,
with a date-time format that differs from -d's
--time=WORD specify which time to change:
access time (-a): 'access', 'atime', 'use';
modification time (-m): 'modify', 'mtime'
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
