Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bsdutils
The column(1) manual page contains the following in the EXAMPLES
section:
(printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY HH:MM/YEAR NAME\n" \
; ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t
This has a problem under various locales; curiously, the Debian version
already has a fix, as well as an explanation (and some additional
examples, too):
To add headings to the output of ls(1):
(echo "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY HH:MM/YEAR NAME"; \
LANG=C ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t
debian-etch$ dpkg -l bsdutils | tail -n 1
ii bsdutils 2.12r-19etch1 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite
ubuntu-gutsy$ dpkg -l bsdutils | tail -1
ii bsdutils 1:2.13-8ubuntu1 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite
I tried to figure out from the changelog.Debian.gz where these have
diverged, but I was unable to. That is, nothing in the Ubuntu changelog
seemed to mention any of the keywords I could come up with, and the
Debian changes after the common branch point 2.12r-19 amount to a single
security NMU (CVE-2007-5191, not pertinent for Ubuntu I guess, since the
BSD mount/umount are not installed?)
