Description of problem: On one machine we have got coreutils 8.22-15 and on another machine we have got 8.23-10. We are executing a sort on a list of checksums on both machines. The input data is the same, but the result is different when it contains two or more files with the same checksum. I have attached two files for both versions. The output has been created with the following command: find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; | sort
Created attachment 1107117 [details] sorted list created on 8.22
Created attachment 1107118 [details] sorted list created on 8.23
The two attachments are different due to different inputs, rather than different sorting order: --- 8.22.txt +++ 8.23.txt +be61b01fd8631d488c5a17d8c4b00146 ./.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi -c6ede12325019d608f28dee4165fa814 ./.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi BTW your checksum will proceed faster by minimizing the number of md5sum processes by using '+' in your command rather than '\;'
Thanks for taking care and sorry for the noise.
