Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This is
the expected (and documented) behaviour for 'ls -F':
(from info coreutils 'ls invocation')
`-F'
`--classify'
`--indicator-style=classify'
Append a character to each file name indicating the file type.
Also, for regular files that are executable, append `*'. The file
type indicators are `/' for directories, `@' for symbolic links,
`|' for FIFOs, `=' for sockets, `>' for doors, and nothing for
regular files. Do not follow symbolic links listed on the command
line unless the `--dereference-command-line' (`-H'),
`--dereference' (`-L'), or
`--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir' options are specified.
As such, closing INVALID (not a bug).
Please do not hesitate in reopening this bug if you feel my response is
incorrect, or in reporting any other bugs you may find.
Thank you again.
** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
