Public bug reported:
I made a mistake when invoking sha1sum -c where I accidentally passed in
a sha256 checksum. It did not report any error message to me instead it
waited for input without alerting me to the problem.
Steps to reproduce:
Run "sha1sum -c" without any additional args in a terminal window. (So
it reads checksums and filenames from stdin).
Paste into the terminal a valid SHA256 checksum and a filename that is
present.
expected: Error message "sha1sum: 'standard input': no properly
formatted SHA1 checksum lines found"
actual: No output.
