Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dash
Ubuntu 9.10rc and Ubuntu 8.10 and probably others.
x86 hardware
dash: Installed: 0.5.4-9ubuntu1.1 on 8.10 and Installed:
0.5.5.1-2ubuntu3 on 9.10rc
dash (and thus, via symlink, /bin/sh and thus almost every script on
the system) fails to handle test -nt on large files (larger than 2GB?).
All tests return false. BASH and /usr/bin/test handle it correctly.
$ dash
$ touch bar
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1024K count=2500
$ test foo -nt bar && echo hi
$ test bar -nt foo && echo hi
$ /usr/bin/test foo -nt bar && echo hi
hi
$ bash
bash$ test foo -nt bar && echo hi
hi
