Package: coreutils
Version: 5.94-1
Severity: normal
like probably many, i upgraded from sarge to etch and discovered that
my many invocations of uniq -W were nonstandard.
could you provide a hint in the man page for how to get the same
behavior?
i had used that option for a very long time and i know of
nothing to replace the invocations with.
nothing that's efficient, that is.
upon etch release, i'll bet that many people will find
that they need to fix their scripts quickly.
thanks.

hello.

uniq now only has -w and not -W. did it have -W in sarge ?
Patch was removed in coreutils 5.93-1, between sarge and etch. Was a
non-standard/debian-specific patch.
