track the changes in behaviour, this bugzilla will be to track found

c) echo -n -e "aaa\naaa\n" | uniq -s1 --

d) echo -n -e "baa\naaa\n" | uniq -s1 --

Results are different (or command fails)

Expected results:
Results should be same

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 19:36:36 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2013-08-14 14:43:37 UTC
Jaromir Koncicky checked the failures, these mentioned in description are no longer failing, other failures in cut/uniq are caused by different "'" character in multibyte/singlebyte version of uniq and in obsolete syntax check. I think there is nothing to fix atm, closing NOTABUG.
