[Bug 2112445] Re: Incorrect evaluation of expr

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi Julian,
it only built by an aggressive push :-)

We essentially removed the offending lines losing some (not too critical things).
We are waiting for this to be fixed to bring it back.

Heinrich is discussing with Debian about an alternative, but that hasn't landed yet.
Once it does we do not need expr there anymore and we'd be fine even without a fix of this here (but others might still stumble over the same).

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:
  Confirmed
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
