Public bug reported:
Hello,
When commencing SRU test on Questing RPI daily image we noticed that the "uname" has been converted to rust-coreutils:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ uname --version
uname (uutils coreutils) 0.1.0
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ dpkg -S uname
coreutils-from-uutils: /usr/bin/uname
coreutils-from-uutils: /usr/share/man/man1/uname.1.gz
rust-coreutils: /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/uname
rust-coreutils: /usr/share/man/man1/rust-uname.1.gz
klibc-utils: /usr/lib/klibc/bin/uname
rust-coreutils: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rust-uname
rust-coreutils: /usr/share/locales/uname
gnu-coreutils: /usr/share/man/man1/gnuuname.1.gz
gnu-coreutils: /usr/bin/gnuuname
rust-coreutils: /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/rust-uname.fish
rust-coreutils: /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/rust-coreutils/_rust-uname
rust-coreutils: /usr/share/locales/uname/fr-FR.ftl
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ ll /usr/bin/uname
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Sep 9 16:40 /usr/bin/uname@ -> ../lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/uname
However the "-p" and the "-i" flag is not available any more:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ uname -p
unknown
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ uname -i
unknown
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ uname --help
Print certain system information.
With no OPTION, same as -s.
Usage: uname [OPTION]...
Options:
-a, --all Behave as though all of the options -mnrsvo were specified.
-s, --kernel-name print the kernel name.
-n, --nodename print the nodename (the nodename may be a name that the system is known by to a communications
network).
-r, --kernel-release print the operating system release.
-v, --kernel-version print the operating system version.
-m, --machine print the machine hardware name.
-o, --operating-system print the operating system name.
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
I am wondering if this is expected? As these two flags are marked as
"non-portable" in uname (GNU coreutils) 9.5
Below is the `uname --help` output with uname (GNU coreutils) 9.5
$ uname --help
Usage: uname [OPTION]...
Print certain system information. With no OPTION, same as -s.
-a, --all print all information, in the following order,
except omit -p and -i if unknown:
-s, --kernel-name print the kernel name
-n, --nodename print the network node hostname
-r, --kernel-release print the kernel release
-v, --kernel-version print the kernel version
-m, --machine print the machine hardware name
-p, --processor print the processor type (non-portable)
-i, --hardware-platform print the hardware platform (non-portable)
-o, --operating-system print the operating system
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
