Package: util-linux Version: 2.33.1-0.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The man page for su says the following: "It is recommended to always use the --login option (instead of its shortcut -)". To me that doesn't make sense, they should be equivalent, and this is confirmed (and adds to the confusion) when I scroll down and the options -, -l, and --login are all listed as doing the exact same things. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii fdisk 2.33.1-0.1 ii libaudit1 1:2.8.4-3 ii libblkid1 2.33.1-0.1 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcap-ng0 0.7.9-2 ii libmount1 2.33.1-0.1 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii libsmartcols1 2.33.1-0.1 ii libsystemd0 241-7~deb10u2 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-2+deb10u2 ii libudev1 241-7~deb10u2 ii libuuid1 2.33.1-0.1 ii login 1:4.5-1.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 util-linux recommends no packages.
