Created attachment 206139 [details] test-suite.log
I tested coreutils-7.5 as well, since it is being stabilized in bug 287219. I can reproduce the same failure with coreutils-7.5.
In newer versions this test is skipped: + skip_ 'requires controlling input terminal This test must have a controlling input "terminal", so it may not be run via "batch", "at", or "ssh". On some systems, it may not even be run in the background.' I guess this can be closed now, no?
Yes, upstream is skipping the test now when you don't run test suite in front of the system (via tty). Would be still interesting if the test passes when run via tty on sparc.
