You reached the coreutils list, but coreutils does not provide an update
manager.  You didn't even mention which system you are having the problem
on, so I can't even recommend a particular users group or distribution
mailing list that might be a better resource to help you in your problem.

sorting on space gives unexpected behaviour with sort 6.10

2008-06-04 Thread Dirk-Jan Faber
Hello,

When trying to sort input that has spaces in it I am getting unexpected 
behaviour. When using the inputfile:
8 3 7
7 2 4
6 3 6
14 3 10
8 6 2
9 5 10
10 1 1
14 1 3
14 4 5
5 3 7

Trying to sort this input gives:
$ cat in.txt | sort -t' ' -n -k1n -k2n -k3n
5 3 7
6 3 6
7 2 4
8 3 7
8 6 2
10 1 1
14 1 3
14 4 5
9 5 10
14 3 10

I would have expected the output to be different, the 9 5 10 line ought to be 
before the line starting with the ten.
This bug can be bypassed by replacing the spaces with another character like 
the semicolon:
$ cat in.txt | tr ' ' ':'  | sort -t':' -n -k1n -k2n -k3n | tr ':' ' '
5 3 7
6 3 6
7 2 4
8 3 7
8 6 2
9 5 10
10 1 1
14 1 3
14 3 10
14 4 5

$ sort --version

| Hello,

Not a bug.  Your problem is that you aren't specifying the correct keys.

|
| Trying to sort this input gives:
| $ cat in.txt | sort -t' ' -n -k1n -k2n -k3n

Useless use of cat.

|
| I would have expected the output to be different, the 9 5 10 line
ought to be before the line starting with the ten.

You are requesting the first key start at the first field, treated
numerically, and extending through the end of the line.  What you wanted
was to specify the first key as numeric, but ending at the first field.
Also, since you specified -n globally, you don't need to repeat it for the
keys:

sort -t' ' -n -k1,1 -k2,2 -k3,3  in.txt

| This bug can be bypassed by replacing the spaces with another character
like the semicolon:
| $ cat in.txt | tr ' ' ':'  | sort -t':' -n -k1n -k2n -k3n | tr ':' ' '

Another useless use of cat (hint - tr ' ' ':'  in.txt is more efficient
than cat in.txt | tr ' ' ':').  The reason this worked around your
problem is that ':' is greater than '9', but ' ' is less than '0', when
the rest of the line is tacked on to the end of your sort key.

| $ sort --version
| sort (GNU coreutils) 6.10

Consider upgrading - the latest stable version is 6.12.

 Does this solve your problem?  Unfortunately, it bloats code in the case where
 utimensat works just fine in the kernel.

 Provide runtime fallback if kernel lacks support.

Nice compromise.  Thanks!
That looks fine, and passes coreutils tests on a few different systems.
Need to dig up an old-kernel system to test this properly.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the details.
This looks like the same problem reported in this thread:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13684

Eric Blake fixed that with this change to gnulib's utimens.c:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=93f08406537

Considering that this has already affected two distributions,
I'm tempted to make a coreutils-6.13 release.  We'll see.

You have reached the GNU Coreutils mailing list.  The GNU Coreutils
are the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU
Operating System.  You can learn more about GNU Coreutils here:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

The GNU Coreutils are part of the GNU Operating System.  You can learn
more about the GNU Project here:

  http://www.gnu.org/

But you are asking about Ubuntu's k3b and mondo applications.  I am
sorry but this is the wrong mailing list.  We do not know anything
about those applications.  We are unable to help you here.

Since you are using Ubuntu then the Ubuntu users mailing lists would
be a better source of information.

I'll hazard a guess, and suppose you (huma) might possibly be talking
about Ubuntu's Update Manager? In that case, I might suggest you use
your IRC client (look in your Applications menu for Internet - X
Chat) to ask on the #ubuntu channel. Please be patient, as it is
volunteer-run, and the volume of questions there are quite high.

There is also the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list:

Response times may take a bit longer there.
