            Bug ID: 230620
           Summary: "install -d" issue
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: stable at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: eugen at freebsd.org
             Flags: mfc-stable11?

install(1) manual page tells that the install utility can create missing parent
directories as required if -d options is specified. This mode seems to work
half-way only, as it really creates needed directories but fails to copy
specified files there:

$ cd /tmp
$ touch file1 file2
$ install -d dir file1 file2
install: file1 exists but is not a directory
$ ls -lR dir
total 0
