Version: 1:3.2.1-28
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

with the recent upgrade of coreutils, tail does no longer support the
+n parameter. For details about this see the table under 5.90 in
/usr/share/doc/coreutils/NEWS.gz.

Because of this, check_known prints the following error message:

| /usr/bin/tail: cannot open `+2' for reading: No such file or directory

The attached patch corrects the problem.

Philipp
