OK, this one-liner has to do the trick for me, until this is fixed downstream:
#!/bin/bash [[ $1 == "" ]] || info Coreutils "$1 invocation" Wish this could be made an alias, but this is impossible since the variable is _inside_ instead of at EOL -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to coreutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384416 Title: coreutils 'info command' broken Status in The Gnu Core Utilities: Unknown Status in “coreutils” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Try the following on Ubuntu (or one of its flavors) and tell me what you see: $ info coreutils 'cat invocation' Should give you the *detailed* cat manual. However, you will in fact land on "2.14 'coreutils' Multi-call binary" in the documentation. Now idea yet how to fix this. Great job. Seems the bug they reported on Debian mailing list on 9/11 (2014) https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs- d...@lists.debian.org/msg1256146.html ... has now made its way into the Ubuntu version of coreutils as well. By the way, isn't that a great comment again?? "though downstream 8.23 could be tweaked to avoid this issue." Cool. They've broken something that worked perfectly _for years_ and all the user gets is "yeah, 8.23 'could be tweaked'". If only he had said _how_ to tweak it!! But apparently the commenter was way too lazy to write one more line.
