Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-5
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/tail
I get the following error (_POSIX2_VERSION is not set):
dixsept:~> tail -c 3 < /dev/null
tail: cannot open `3' for reading: No such file or directory
zsh: exit 1 tail -c 3 < /dev/null
Though there is a workaround (use the file "-"), this bug breaks
existing scripts.
