Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: coreutils

For example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tail -1 /var/log/messages
Jan  3 10:56:30 twiadria -- MARK --
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tail -1 /var/log/messages*
tail: invalid option -- 1
Try `tail --help' for more information.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

I know -1 is deprecated but shouldn't they both work, or don't work?

** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed

-- 
tail -1 file works, tail -1 file* doesn't
