Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-2
Severity: critical
Justification: renders apt-move unusable
Hello,
in the past 'stat -L -c "%s" / /' produced
4096 <LF>
4096 <LF>
while now (since 5.93 update) it produces
40964096
without any explanation why this happened. This breaks at least apt-move and
some programs I've written.
But what's worse is that now stat does not provide any way how to get each of
stat results on separate line - "%s\n" just generates "4096\n4096\n", without
interpreting \n...
Can you revert to the old behavior and provide special option for new (IMHO
broken) one, or provide some method how to embed LF to the output without
actually having LF embedded directly into shell scripts? Though I would prefer
backward compatibility over even bigger incompatibility.
See bug 339024 for apt-move's half of story.
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
