Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * When using Copy Dir to overwrite a read-only file.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Using the Copy Dir command would cause a failure on          *
  * read-only files. These read-only files would then be deleted *
  * even though the copy failed. This error was caused by Apache *
  * Ant and resolved in version 1.9.4.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Upgrade to FileUtils 49. The current fix involves using the
  force flag to make the overwrite happen regardless of
  permissions. The minimum version of Ant for this workaround is
  1.8.2.
