The Launchpad bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-coreutils/+bu... .

The apparently related bug in the origin project is https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/2949, filed back in 2022 and which sat unmoved for several years until, probably not coincidentally, almost the same time yesterday that this appeared on Hacker News.
