Package: coreutils Version: 9.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a script that was used for some decades on multiple unices. Beginning with bookworm, it stopped working because dd no longer understands POSIX expression syntax for bs=: $ dd if=... bs=1024x1024x32 dd: invalid number: ‘1024x1024x32’ This should be valid syntax according to POSIX, and was understood on older versions of Debian GNU/Linux: Two or more positive decimal numbers (with or without k or b) separated by x, specifying the product of the indicated values -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers testing-security APT policy: (990, 'testing-security'), (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32 Kernel: Linux 6.1.32-schmorp (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_USER, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.3.1-3 ii libattr1 1:2.5.1-4 ii libc6 2.36-9 ii libgmp10 2:6.2.1+dfsg1-1.1 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b6 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
