[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#508410: sort always assumes -d option

[Marvin Germain]

Package: base
Version: etch

The output of /usr/bin/sort is always as if the -d option was used.   This is 
not the behavior specified on the man page, it is different from my previous 
debian distro (woody), and it breaks every script that relies on the standard 
sort.  

I recommend that the sort utility be restored to the GNU sort functionality.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux kernel 2.6.18-6-686
