Package: coreutils Version: 9.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
POSIX requires that each line be matched by BREs per spec (i.e. without REG_NEWLINE); I consider this to be a bug: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10621.html Nevertheless, there are systems that agree (all berkeley implementations), and this is the letter of the standard. Therefore, the /only/ portable way to match an end-of-line is $ seq 9 | csplit - '/8 /' 14 4 coreutils provides an extension that allows that to be spelled '/8$/', as does the illumos gate. However, coreutils /rejects/ the portable spelling! $ seq 9 | csplit - '/8 /' csplit: ‘/8\n/’: match not found 18 which is wrong. наб -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: x32 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64, i386 Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.3.1-2 ii libattr1 1:2.5.1-3 ii libc6 2.36-7 ii libgmp10 2:6.2.1+dfsg1-1.1 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b4 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
