Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bsdmainutils
Ubuntu 8.04 / Ubuntu 8.10 bsdmainutils 6.1.10ubuntu2 Expected: When given a custom format string, that form is used instead. Actual: When invoked by the name 'hd' and given a custom format string (even one of the builtins like with -c, -b, -C (which is default!)), the specified format is display as well as (after) the requested format. Invokation as "hexdump" works as expected.
