Isn't it the other way round? I.e. "-b3-,2-" has already been working correctly. - Subject: [PATCH] cut: interpret "-b3-,2-" like "-b2-", not like "-b3-" + Subject: [PATCH] cut: interpret "-b2-,3-" like "-b2-", not like "-b3-" > diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS > index 15fddd4..284525e 100644 > --- a/NEWS > +++ b/NEWS > @@ -14,6 +14,10 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- > outline -*- > Instead, cut now fails and emits an appropriate diagnostic. > [This bug was present in "the beginning".] > > + cut now handles overlapping right-open-ended ranges properly.

Otherwise, the patch looks good. BTW: interestingly, the i18n patch of openSuSE downstream already had such a fix included for ages (line 215): https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=coreutils-i18n.patch&package=coreutils&project=Base%3ASystem Have a nice day, Berny
