Package: coreutils
Version: 8.25-2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #837810

Hello!,
I find du buggy. I think it's taking International System of Units
values as if they was binary values. An example:

# stat file.pdf 
  File: 'file.pdf'
  Size: 160594          Blocks: 320        IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 16h/22d Inode: 244351      Links: 1
Access: (0400/-r--------)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2016-12-06 11:59:56.810077679 +0100
Modify: 2016-12-06 11:59:54.640000084 +0100
Change: 2016-12-06 12:15:23.121852493 +0100
 Birth: -

# ls -l file.pdf 
-r-------- 1 root root 160594 Dec  6 11:59 file.pdf

# LC_ALL=C du file.pdf 
160     file.pdf

# du --si file.pdf 
164k    file.pdf

That is, I think it takes 160 kB as if it were 160 KiB.

Best Regards,
Manolo Díaz
