Bug#353909: sort: list all environmental factors

[Dan Jacobson]

Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-5
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/sort

In this message
       *** WARNING *** The locale specified by the  environment  affects  sort
       order.  Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses native
       byte values.

The word "environment" must not be enough.

On one machine I get
$ echo /a b /c|xargs -n 1|env - LC_COLLATE=en_US sort
/a
/c
b
On another I get
$ echo /a b /c|xargs -n 1|env - LC_COLLATE=en_US sort
/a
b
/c
Both with sort (GNU coreutils) 5.93

Or maybe what you mean by environment is more than just what
$ man env
controls.
