setting export QUOTING_STYLE=literal in .profile or /etc/profile helps
It happened on moving from UBUNTU LTS 16.04 to UBUNTU LTS 18.04 (migration from one server to the other, not an upgrade of one server) It is related to the "ls" command only, and not a generic UNIX kernel. Seems to be a change in core-utils ls command You should discuss to default to QUOTING_STYLE=literal on UBUNTU 16.04 LTS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788455 Title: Issue Creating Files with Equal sign = Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: UBUNTU 18.04LTS Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 touch a=b results into file 'a=b' NOTE: single quote (') is part of the filename This issue can be made with mkdir on directories as well as tar and other tools as well. As far as I could see, it is only with equal sign "=" and not with othter characters. However, I just checked a few. In UBUNTU 16.04LTS touch a=b results into file a=b I assume, that behaviour in UBUNTU 16.04 is correct.
