Although stow worked few days ago it now refuses to register a new app

# eg
cd /opt/stow
# a folder newapp is there with subfolder bin and more
sudo stow -D newapp
# returns:
stow: ERROR: canon_path: cannot chdir to "/opt/stow=E2=80=9D from =
"/opt/stow=E2=80=9D
# which would look like easy to me!

What did I do wrong since install?

my conf file is:

# /Users/me/.stowrc
--dir=3D/opt/stow
--target=3D/usr/local

Thanks in advance
