Hello,
No, it should return
1 2 3
which the version in unstable and testing does. The respective change
happened in 4.2.20-2 with this changelog entry:
'xargs -n 1 -i' works. (Closes: #31858). Please note that it is
no bug that -i changes xargs to pass a whole line of input as a
single argument instead of splitting on any blank characters as
without -i. - Other implementations behave the same and the -I
XSI extension documented in SUSv3/POSIX works like this, too.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ printf '1\n2 3\n' | xargs -iX -n1 echo X
1
2 3
Please consult http://bugs.debian.org/325001 for more information.
