Public bug reported:
There is a minor difference in the stat -c %N command out put in rust-
coreutils stdout which uses double-quotes versus gnu-coreutils which
uses single quotes. This breaks some minor integration tests in the
cloud-init project.
This affects Ubuntu questing.
I've filed an ustream bug which seems to be actively be worked and may
land shortly: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/8789
Bug Details below:
Non-critical change in behavior of the output of stat -c %N in rust-coreutils:
version: rust-coreutils 0.2.2-0ubuntu2 amd64
Expected gnu-coreutils (9.5-1ubuntu1) behavior:
~$ stat -c %N /lib
'/lib' -> 'usr/lib'
Current rust-coreutils behavior:
~$ stat -c %N /lib
"/lib" -> "usr/lib"
