[TYPO3-core] RFC #11433: touch(): Utime failed in install tool

Hi,

Um.. at least not here on MacOS. File is successful touched by the web  
server user, as soon as he has write permissions.

Yes, just let's go with this solution (attached)

I'm not sure, if we need any notification at all:

So we're doing only what the user should expect.

Prolongation of the validity is described nowhere to the common admin, I  
think.
