Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Severity: normal
suppose the commands:
cd /usr/src
ls -v1 linux-2.6.*/.config
one'd expect the files to be sorted by the version in the directory
name:
linux-2.6.20/.config
linux-2.6.20.4/.config
linux-2.6.20.5/.config
but the actual output is:
linux-2.6.20.4/.config
linux-2.6.20.5/.config
linux-2.6.20/.config
i *think* this is a regression, unless it worked for me before only due
to chance.

I think that ls is behaving as expected. -v will sort things at
equivalent depths of decimal points or dashes numerically. (E.g., foo.10
will sort after foo.2 if -v is specified) But in the given case, there
are fewer levels of decimals in the name that sorts last. I'm going to
close this as expected for ls. If desired, it can be reopened and
reassigned to libc6 (strverscmp).
