I don't know how to close this bug as "fixed upstream"?

Hello Pádraig,

You can always set the Ubuntu task to "Fix Committed". This means a fix was made available (probably in upstream) but has not yet been packaged for Ubuntu.

Given this is a low impact bug (it *is*, after all, documented in the man page, I expect this bug to move to "Fix Released" when we next sync 8.24 or later from Debian.

Additionally, so that we do not lose track, I am opening a Coreutils upstream task, and setting it to Fix Released (you can do that by clicking on "also affects project", and selecting one of the options there).

Thank you for you work on this bug. We appreciate it.
