[Bug 2069483] [NEW] sort: /dev/null: error truncating: Invalid argument

[stsp]

Public bug reported:

The code that detects universal-ctags,
does this:
`echo | ctags -L - -f /dev/null`
On Focal this fails with:
`sort: /dev/null: error truncating: Invalid argument`
It works properly on any more recent distros.
I think this upstream fix should be applied to Focal:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/a6756257efd4fb957e50177b62af094fecef2745
