bug in tail
Hello, contrary to documentation and old versions the following commands don't work any longer for new versions of tail, as present in newer versions of Debian and Novell linux: tail -1 *.inp (*.inp gives a list of some files) gives an error (tail: invalid option -- 1). tail --lines=1 *.inp works well tail -1 h2.inp (applied to a single file) works also fine.

Thanks for the report, but this aspect of tail depends on the version of tail you're using and possibly on your environment settings. Using the latest (coreutils-6.9) version, with no setting for _POSIX2_VERSION in your environment, it should work just fine: $ env -u _POSIX2_VERSION -- /usr/bin/tail -1 /etc/issue $ tail --version|head -n1 tail (GNU coreutils) 6.9 ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

who is not wide-character aware
Hello, I'm working on Czech translation for coreutils. I've found out that if I use UTF-8 locale and I translate the headers using wide characters, then the heading of who command (who -H) will be badly aligned. And even some headers can disappear. I noticed this bug in coreutils-6.9 in locale cs_CZ.UTF-8 and messeages in Czech PO catalogue like: #: src/who.c:551 msgid TIME msgstr ČAS Headers following header _(TIME) are shifted to left. More wide characters in traslatation shift the headers more left and after excedening a number of them some headers are not visible. It seems that print_line() in src/who.c counts bytes instead of characters. -- Petr Pisar pgpNy25nh6GSB.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
