Hello Sylvestre,

The issue is already solved in ls 9.7 and only fails in Ubuntu's lower release 9.5.
git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils does not contain a specific 9.5 branch.

As this is fixed in upstream, why report an issue there?

Commit 9ab1f9db9447 ("ls: -f now means -a -U") seems to be the relevant
patch. It adds a comment

+** Changes in behavior
+
+  ls's -f option now simply acts like -aU, instead of also ignoring
+  some earlier options.  For example 'ls -fl' and 'ls -lf' are now
+  equivalent because -f no longer ignores an earlier -l.  The new
+  behavior is more orthogonal and is compatible with FreeBSD.
+

Git describes this patch as v9.5-11-g9ab1f9db9. So it is just 11 patches
after Ubuntu's 9.5 cut off.

Best regards

Heinrich

  FTBFS due to failure of ls command

Bug description:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/815848165/buildlog_ubuntu-questing-
  amd64.inetutils_2%3A2.6-1ubuntu2_BUILDING.txt.gz shows that the build
  fails in the test phase. The ls command does handle the ls command
  correctly.

  The output of ls -lat and ls -latf should be the same except for
  sorting but it is not.
