Exactly. Ranger 1.5.5 depends on a GNU-cp-only option
(--backup=numbered) but OSX does not use GNU cp.
You can do any of these things to fix it:
- upgrade to ranger-master from git. It has a different copying
implementation that does not rely on the cp program anymore, but it
might not be as stable as ranger-stable.
- type "po" (for "paste/overwrite") instead of "pp". "po" doesn't use
the GNU-only flag, it won't create a backup of the file if it already
exists, but will simply overwrite it.
- remove the "--backup=numbered" flag from the cp invocation in
ranger/core/actions.py
- use GNU cp, obviously.
