Package: coreutils Version: 8.25-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
This is related to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810295 that has (thankfully) been fixed by reverting the coreutils quoting change. This is fixed ... kenj@vm07:/tmp$ touch foo 'foo bar' kenj@vm07:/tmp$ ls foo* foo foo bar But this remains broken (with respect to 30+ years of history) kenj@vm07:/tmp$ ls foo-bar ls: cannot access 'foo-bar': No such file or directory The quotes around the filename just should not be there. This is a big deal because it breaks a very large number of QA tests that we have that compare actual versus expected output for PCP (www.pcp.io) ... and many of these tests use sh and ls and some expect files to be not found ... these tests fail on Debian stretch while passing on hundreds of other platforms. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-2 ii libc6 2.22-7 ii libselinux1 2.5-2 ii multiarch-support 2.22-7 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
