Worked for me (from the errata page). Try http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/coreutils/ [ if ever the links are broken for an LFS or BLFS patch, going directly to patches/downloads will let you see what is available ] But as to what the search engine returns, that's outwith my control. > * * * > > Speaking of errata, I've found a couple of packages that break when running > the tests in parallel: > > * gawk > * flex > > Executing the 'make check' with '-j 1' allows the tests to pass.

I prefer to build with -j1 so that the logs are in order *when* things break (my builds are development, I expect breakage, either from altering my own scripts, or from updates to packages). Maybe someone else knows which packages are like this ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
