I've seen the warning from sort somewhere before. There is a new

Ok, if you have the packages available somewhere, I can upload them
for you, while you sort out this problem.
/usr/share/doc/coreutils/NEWS.Debian.gz says:
coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low
* The POSIX compatability level is now set to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
which affects the syntax for several commands. For transition
purposes, "sort +number" and "tail +number" will be supported
for the etch release. Note that these usages are deprecated, and
will be removed in etch+1; the recommended usage is "sort -k number"
and "tail -n +number". Also, "uniq +number" should be replaced with
"uniq -s number" and "touch number filename" should be replaced with
"touch -t number filename". To revert to the older syntax, set the
environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION to "199209".
Ok. It's weird that I tested with the same sort version, and the
warning didn't come up for me. It might be an environment variable
(but not the POSIX one, I checked) or something... Anyway, it's good
to be up to date.
