I can confirm the same is true even within English variants. Speaking to one of the coreutils developers about it, he said:
"It's to do with your locale: $ head -n1 /etc/issue Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l $ dpkg -s coreutils | grep Version Version: 7.4-2ubuntu1 $for LANG in en_AU.utf8 en_IE.utf8; do df | head -n2; done Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 14421344 6657252 7031532 49% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 14421344 6657252 7031532 49% / Interestingly I can't reproduce it on fedora 11 (coreutils-7.2) or fedora 12 (coreutils-7.6), or on en_AU on unbuntu. Note coreutils doesn't provide english variant translations, while ubuntu does, so I'm guessing it's an issue with the en_AU ubuntu coreutils translation?" This bug has also been present for something like two years. $ for LANG in C en_AU en_AU.utf8 en_IE.utf8; do df | head -n2; done Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 12389244 10877944 881960 93% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 12389244 10877944 881960 93% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 12389244 10877944 881960 93% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 12389244 10877944 881960 93% / -- National translations of "df" output misaligned https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
