Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: time
This is a cut and paste from a bug reported on the debian bug tracking
system. since this bug hasn't been fixed in about one year and is also
present in ubuntu, I am reporting it here. Maybe someone here will know
how to fix it.

Subject: time: Time does not parse its parameters
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 16:21:02 +0200
Package: time
Version: 1.7-21
Severity: important
Time does not parse its own parameters and treats everything on the
command line like the program it should run and its parameters.
For example the following works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/randwrite$ time bash < /dev/null
real 0m0.005s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
But this does not:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp time -f "%e" bash < /dev/null
bash: -f: command not found
real 0m0.002s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
OTOH, I suspect this might be a bash issue because I have just found
out that /usr/bin/time works as expected.
TIA
Martin
