Package: coreutils Version: 8.20-3 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
On Debian sid (incorrect): $ /usr/bin/seq -s 'a' 3 1 2a3a On Debian wheezy (correct): $ /usr/bin/seq -s 'a' 3 1a2a3 The manpage says for -s: "use STRING to separate numbers (default: \n)". And the info page says: "Separate numbers with STRING; default is a newline. The output always terminates with a newline." Apparently the unstable version of seq confuses the first separator and the final newline, i.e. it SHOULD replace the first separator with 'a', and it SHOULDN'T replace the terminating newline with an 'a'. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.9.7 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 unstable ftp.ro.debian.org 500 stable security.debian.org 500 stable ftp.ro.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =============================-+-============= dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | 1.16.10 OR install-info | 5.1.dfsg.1-3 Package's Recommends field is empty.
