#70186: `rename` doesn't preserve original file name parts

 Keywords:           |       Port:  util-linux
---------------------+------------------------
 I've been running the following command and instead of replacing the file
 extension, it wants to rename every file to the exact string specified as
 the replacement:

 {{{
 find . -type f -iname '*.pdf' -exec rename -v -n pdf pdf_ {} +
 }}}

 Running the same command in the same directory from a linux machine works
 as expected.

 For example, it does this:

 {{{
 './2020/2020-01.pdf' -> `pdf_'
 }}}

 instead of this:

 {{{
 './2020/2020-01.pdf' -> `./2020/2020-01.pdf_'
 }}}
