Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-1 Severity: normal Hi,
The version of tail currently in stable supports the following: tail -1 file1 file2 file3 Such syntax is also supported in head, both in stable and unstable. Unfortunately the current unstable release of tail breaks when this is attempted, complaining: % tail -1 file1 file2 file3 tail: invalid option -- 1 Try `tail --help' for more information. Note that this occurs with any -n specified. Also note that the syntax works perfectly fine with a single file; but it breaks with multiple files.
