[Bug 2112445] [NEW] Incorrect evaluation of expr

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

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
