No, that just means that whoever pre-built coreutils 7.4 for your distro did so in March 2010, even though they used a tarball from May 2009. You can _always_ use 'sort --version' to find the actual version on your machine (and using --version works for almost every GNU program out there, the few exceptions being programs like /bin/test that have behavior mandated by POSIX when given a single argument). -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
