A regression in version sort (used as the natural sort for "ls") has been introduced from coreutils 8.32 to 9.1:
With coreutils 8.32 (Debian 11): $ printf "%s\n" a a0 a1 a.b a0.b a1.b | sort -V a a.b a0 a0.b a1 a1.b With coreutils 9.1 (Debian/unstable): $ printf "%s\n" a a0 a1 a.b a0.b a1.b | sort -V a a0 a0.b a.b a1 a1.b This is now completely illogical. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
