Thanks for this bug report. This is a rust-coreutils regression, I
tweaked the bug accordingly.
** Summary changed:
- dpigs shows a "write failed" error after its output
+ echo 1 | sort | head -n0: sort: write failed: 'standard output': Broken pipe
** Package changed: debian-goodies (Ubuntu) => rust-coreutils (Ubuntu)
** Also affects: rust-coreutils (Ubuntu Questing)
Importance: Undecided

Title:
echo 1 | sort | head -n0: sort: write failed: 'standard output':
Broken pipe
Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:

Status in rust-coreutils source package in Questing:

Bug description:
dpigs produces its output, then shows an error:
sort: write failed: 'standard output': Broken pipe
dpigs end with a 'sort | head' pipeline. This error is due to sort's
new behaviour in rust-coreutils when being passed into a pipe that's
closed mid-write, which is exactly what head does.
Minimally, this is reproducible with:
$ echo 1 | sort | head -n0
sort: write failed: 'standard output': Broken pipe
This is either a latent bug in dpigs or a regression in rust-
coreutils.
