Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/uniq

What happened to uniq -W?
Now it is not allowed.
How is one to only compare on the first field anymore?

I did find in the docs some hint:
  * Remove some ancient debian-specific patches
    - no more field seperator option to uniq
you mean I was using something that was local/liable to go away and not thus
warned about on the man page?

Anyway, the user saw -W, and embedded it into his scripts, and upon
upgrade it is gone.
