Hello Guido,
Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.
As far as I can remember, Ubuntu has been using kill from the procps
package, not coreutils. On Cosmic and 16.04 (the only machines I have
access to right now), /bin/kill is being provided by procps:
cerdea@piatam:$ dpkg -L coreutils|grep kill
1 $ dpkg -L procps|grep kill
/bin/kill
/usr/bin/skill
/usr/share/man/man1/kill.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/skill.1.gz
/usr/bin/pkill
/usr/share/man/man1/pkill.1.gz
It is probable that this is also your case, but before changing the
package in the bug I would like you to check.
* man kill should tell you if it is coreutils or not;
* apt-file search bin/kill will return you all packages that deploy "bin/kill"
(note that we are only looking for /bin/kill).
Please report back, and we will then act as needed.
** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
kill -TERM exitcode regression 16.04
Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I had a regression error in one of my testsuites.
https://github.com/gdraheim/docker-systemctl-replacement/issues/43
After investigating I did find that the command "kill -TERM" behaves
different in Ubuntu 16.04 in comparison to all other Ubuntu versions
and in comparison to all other tested Linux distributions
(opensuse,centos).
====> "kill -TERM" does report an exitcode=0 (OK) where it should say
failed.
Note that the testsuite of coreutils does define a behaviour of not-ok at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/tests/misc/kill.sh
There you can see
# params required
returns_ 1 env kill || fail=1
returns_ 1 env kill -TERM || fail=1
However this is the result tested with the available docker images
== kill
ubuntu:14.04 => 1
ubuntu:16.04 => 1
ubuntu:18.04 => 1
ubuntu:18.10 => 1
== kill -TERM
ubuntu:14.04 => 1
ubuntu:16.04 => 0
ubuntu:18.04 => 1
ubuntu:18.10 => 1
I am attaching the testscript that shows the results above.
