Package: bsdmainutils Version: 8.0.13 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line ***
When using hd without the verbose option, characters in the last line are not shown if they are identical to those in previous repeated lines. % head -c 65 /dev/zero | hd 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000040 % head -c 66 /dev/zero | hd 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000040 Both commands produce the same output from different inputs. At first glance, one would think from the dumps that there were only 64 bytes (or, less likely, 80 bytes). Even on closer examination, one cannot tell the number of bytes from the dump, so I think some relevant information is missing (whereas otherwise the compact, non-verbose, output is fully reconstructible). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bsdmainutils depends on: ii bsdutils 1:2.17.2-9 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
