Title:
  Incorrect evaluation of expr

Status in coreutils-from package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in rust-coreutils package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  I have installed rust-coreutils 0.0.30-2.

  I have created a symbolic link /usr/bin/expr =>
  /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/expr.

  When executing the appended script test.sh it does not find a space
  between words.

  With /usr/bin/expr => /usr/bin/gnuexpr the script finds a space.

  My expectation is that both binaries should be equivalent.

  Best regards

  Heinrich
