[Bug 2132404] [NEW] coreutils: truncate not dropin replacement of gnu coreutils

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

As said, I found this while debugging asciidoctor autopkgtest failure:

 59s + asciidoctor -b manpage example.adoc
 60s + sed /Generator/d -i example.1
 60s + truncate -s -1 example.ref
 60s error: unexpected argument '-1' found
 60s 
 60s   tip: to pass '-1' as a value, use '-- -1'
 60s 
 60s Usage: truncate [OPTION]... [FILE]...
 60s 

Of course the same in Debian works:

$ echo foo > 1
$ truncate -s -1 1
