This is the default behaviour with newer coreutils when _POSIX_VERSION 200112L is set in /usr/include/unistd.h. The latter is the case with newer glibcs. See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/debian-glibc-200308/msg00127.html Since several scripts broke, SUSE desided to change unistd.h while Debian/unstable desided to change the coreutils. Look at changelog.Debian.gz (unstable): coreutils (5.0.90-1) unstable; urgency=low [...] * temporarily override posix version to 199209 so I can upload this package. need a transition plan. try setting the environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION on your system to "200112" and see how much breaks. I encourage debian developers to update their packages so the above works. -- Michael Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 11 Aug 2003 17:31:34 -0400 > It would be interesting information if it was > actually caused by the i18n patch.
