[Valentin HAUDIQUET <2122271@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The issue might not come from coreutils ls, as inetutils comes with it's
own 'libls' library, reimplementing ls entirely. This is the one being
tested, which fails on 'ls -f' and causes FTBFS.

This can be caused by 3 issues :
1. The test uses the system-wide ls instead of libls for the test. It does not seem so, but that might be the case, and it would be an upstream bug.
2. The version of libls provided is using GNU coreutils ls codebase as base, and the coreutils bug propagated to libls. It does not seem to be that as well, at least from a quick look at the code base.
3. Another bug unrelated to coreutils ls is present in libls.

In any case, the most sensible thing to do here for now is to disable
this 'ls -f' test on the package, at least until the next version. Then
we could check if the bug still exists or not. I'm working on a patch.

  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.
