User story

As a develop I found that the cp -n flag has changed with newer versions of cp

Game

All

Linux distro

Ubuntu 24.04

Command

command: install

Further information

A new error is popping up for Ubuntu 24.04
cp: warning: behaviour of -n is non-portable and may change in future; use --update=none instead

This is an annoying message and we need to find out which versions of distros should now use --update=none or older -n flag
