You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Try the following on Ubuntu (or one of its flavors) and tell me what you
see:

$ info coreutils 'cat invocation'

Should give you the *detailed* cat manual. However,  you will in fact
land on "2.14 'coreutils' Multi-call binary" in the documentation. Now
idea yet how to fix this.

Great job. Seems the bug they reported on Debian mailing list on 9/11
(2014)

https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-
dist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1256146.html

... has now made its way into the Ubuntu version of coreutils as well.

By the way,  isn't that a great comment again??

"though downstream 8.23 could be tweaked to avoid this issue."

Cool. They've broken something that worked perfectly _for years_ and all
the user gets is "yeah, 8.23 'could be tweaked'". If only he had said
_how_ to tweak it!! But apparently the commenter was way too lazy to
write one more line.
