State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 20 08:13:31 GMT 2004 
State-Changed-Why:  
This is a feature. From the man-page: 
"-f [...] If the file does not exist, do not display a diagnostic message or modify the 
exit status to reflect an error. 
...the -f option only masks attempts to remove non-existent files instead of mask- 
ing a large variety of errors."
