OR any > alternate solution for this. Coreutils 8.4 is NOT an upgrade, but a downgrade, in relation to 8.25. 'split -e' was added in coreutils 8.8 (commit be10739) (although the NEWS file forgot to mention it; -e was added at the same time as --number, but only --number was mentioned in the NEWS). Your solution, then, is to actually upgrade coreutils back up to a version that has the features you want, or to rewrite your script to not require the use of that feature as it is not portable to the bare minimum behavior that POSIX requires of split. But since we can't retroactively add features to older releases, there's no bug to fix here, so I'm closing this bug in the database. Feel free to add more comments on the topic, though, as needed. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
