Package: util-linux
Version: 2.36.1-8+deb11u1
Followup-For: Bug #973471
Hello,
The issue is that currently "look" is broken on debian/bullseye. I don't know
whether this package needs to be updated or the dictionary package(s).
Attached is a patch that removes the default -d and -f when no dictionary file
is given, which seems to mitigate this issue.
Regards,
Yair.
