Package: libpython3.13-minimal libpython3.13-minimal's prerm computes a safe xargs --max-chars value by parsing GNU xargs --show-limits output:
https://sources.debian.org/src/python3.13/3.13.5-2%2Bdeb13u2/debian/libPVER-minimal.prerm.in/#L8 If xargs does not support --show-limits, max becomes empty. I ran into this issue because I run the Rust port of findutils at github.com/uutils/findutils. While it should try to maintain compatibility (and I am working on a patch) it is possibly a good idea to execute a fallback if --show-limits is not implemented or returns an empty string. E.g. max=$(LANG=C LC_ALL=C xargs --show-limits < /dev/null 2>&1 \ | awk '/Maximum length/ {print int($NF / 4)}') if ! [ "$max" -gt 0 ] 2>/dev/null; then max=131072 fi Thanks very much, Kevin Burke
