This is for compatibility with BSD and POSIX. - tr now warns about an unescaped backslash at end of string. - The tr from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier would fail for such usage, - and Solaris' tr ignores that final byte. - ** New features - Add SELinux support, based on the patch from Fedora: - * cp accepts new --preserve=context option. - * "cp -a" works with SELinux: - Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does - not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is - similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status. - * install accepts new "-Z, --context=C" option. - * id accepts new "-Z" option. - * stat honors the new %%C format directive: SELinux security context string - * ls accepts a slightly modified -Z option. - * ls: contrary to Fedora version, does not accept --lcontext and --scontext - cp -p tries to preserve the GID of a file even if preserving the UID - is not possible. - uniq accepts a new option: --zero-terminated (-z). As with the sort - option of the same name, this makes uniq consume and produce - NUL-terminated lines rather than newline-terminated lines. - wc no longer warns about character decoding errors in multibyte locales. - This means for example that "wc /bin/sh" now produces normal output - (though the word count will have no real meaning) rather than many - error messages. - ** New build options - By default, "make install" no longer attempts to install (or even build) su. - To change that, use ./configure --enable-install-program=su. - If you also want to install the new "arch" program, do this: - ./configure --enable-install-program=arch,su. - You can inhibit the compilation and installation of selected programs - at configure time. For example, to avoid installing "hostname" and - "uptime", use ./configure --enable-no-install-program=hostname,uptime - Note: currently, "make check" passes, even when arch and su are not - built (that's the new default). However, if you inhibit the building - and installation of other programs, don't be surprised if some parts - of "make check" fail. - ** Remove deprecated options - df no longer accepts the --kilobytes option. - du no longer accepts the --kilobytes or --megabytes options. - ls no longer accepts the --kilobytes option. - ptx longer accepts the --copyright option. - who no longer accepts -i or --idle. - ** Improved robustness - ln -f can no longer silently clobber a just-created hard link. - In some cases, ln could be seen as being responsible for data loss. - For example, given directories a, b, c, and files a/f and b/f, we - should be able to do this safely: ln -f a/f b/f c && rm -f a/f b/f - However, before this change, ln would succeed, and thus cause the - loss of the contents of a/f. - stty no longer silently accepts certain invalid hex values - in its 35-colon commmand-line argument - ** Bug fixes - chmod no longer ignores a dangling symlink. Now, chmod fails - with a diagnostic saying that it cannot operate on such a file. - [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0] - cp attempts to read a regular file, even if stat says it is empty. - Before, "cp /proc/cpuinfo c" would create an empty file when the kernel - reports stat.st_size == 0, while "cat /proc/cpuinfo > c" would "work", - and create a nonempty one. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] - cp --parents no longer mishandles symlinks to directories in file - name components in the source, e.g., "cp --parents symlink/a/b d" - no longer fails. Also, 'cp' no longer considers a destination - symlink to be the same as the referenced file when copying links - or making backups. For example, if SYM is a symlink to FILE, - "cp -l FILE SYM" now reports an error instead of silently doing - nothing. The behavior of 'cp' is now better documented when the - destination is a symlink. - "cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv - "cp -i" now detects read errors on standard input, and no longer consumes - too much seekable input; same for ln, install, mv, and rm. - cut now diagnoses a range starting with zero (e.g., -f 0-2) as invalid; - before, it would treat it as if it started with 1 (-f 1-2). - "cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-" - cut now diagnoses the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather - than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-". - date -d now accepts strings of the form e.g., 'YYYYMMDD +N days', - in addition to the usual 'YYYYMMDD N days'. - du -s now includes the size of any stat'able-but-inaccessible directory - in the total size. - du (without -s) prints whatever it knows of the size of an inaccessible - directory. Before, du would print nothing for such a directory. - ls -x DIR would sometimes output the wrong string in place of the - first entry. [introduced in coreutils-6.8] - ls --color would mistakenly color a dangling symlink as if it were - a regular symlink. This would happen only when the dangling symlink - was not a command-line argument and in a directory with d_type support. - [introduced in coreutils-6.0] - ls --color, (with a custom LS_COLORS envvar value including the - ln=target attribute) would mistakenly output the string "target" - before the name of each symlink. [introduced in coreutils-6.0] - od's --skip (-j) option now works even when the kernel says that a - nonempty regular file has stat.st_size = 0. This happens at least - with files in /proc and linux-2.6.22. - "od -j L FILE" had a bug: when the number of bytes to skip, L, is exactly - the same as the length of FILE, od would skip *no* bytes. When the number - of bytes to skip is exactly the sum of the lengths of the first N files, - od would skip only the first N-1 files. [introduced in textutils-2.0.9] - ./printf %%.10000000f 1 could get an internal ENOMEM error and generate - no output, yet erroneously exit with status 0. Now it diagnoses the error - and exits with nonzero status. [present in initial implementation] - seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like "seq 0 0.000001 0.000003", - so workarounds like "seq 0 0.000001 0.0000031" are no longer needed. - seq would mistakenly reject some valid format strings containing %%, - and would mistakenly accept some invalid ones. e.g., %%g%% and %%g, resp. - "seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems - Obsolete sort usage with an invalid ordering-option character, e.g., - "env _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 sort +1x" no longer makes sort free an - invalid pointer [introduced in coreutils-6.5] - sorting very long lines (relative to the amount of available memory) - no longer provokes unaligned memory access - split --line-bytes=N (-C N) no longer creates an empty file - [this bug is present at least as far back as textutils-1.22 (Jan, 1997)] - tr -c no longer aborts when translating with Set2 larger than the - complement of Set1.

For example, when copying a - directory with permissions 777 the destination directory might - temporarily be setgid on some file systems, which would allow other - users to create subfiles with the same group as the directory. Fix - similar problems with 'install' and 'mv'. - cut no longer dumps core for usage like "cut -f2- f1 f2" with two or - more file arguments. This was due to a double-free bug, introduced - in coreutils-5.3.0. - dd bs= operands now silently override any later ibs= and obs= - operands, as POSIX and tradition require. - "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux. Introduced in - coreutils-6.0. - A cross-partition "mv /etc/passwd ~" (by non-root) now prints - a reasonable diagnostic. Before, it would print this: - "mv: cannot remove `/etc/passwd': Not a directory". - pwd and "readlink -e ." no longer fail unnecessarily when a parent - directory is unreadable. - "rm -rf /etc/passwd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic. - Before it would print nothing. - "rm --interactive=never F" no longer prompts for an unwritable F - ** New features - sort's new --compress-program=PROG option specifies a compression - program to use when writing and reading temporary files. - This can help save both time and disk space when sorting large inputs. - ** New features - sort accepts the new option -C, which acts like -c except no diagnostic - is printed. Its --check option now accepts an optional argument, and - --check=quiet and --check=silent are now aliases for -C, while - --check=diagnose-first is an alias for -c or plain --check. -* Tue Jan 09 2007 schwab@suse.de -- Fix localized month sorting [#231790]. -* Wed Dec 13 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Fix acl tests. -* Sat Dec 09 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.7. - ** Bug fixes - When cp -p copied a file with special mode bits set, the same bits - were set on the copy even when ownership could not be preserved. - This could result in files that were setuid to the wrong user. - To fix this, special mode bits are now set in the copy only if its - ownership is successfully preserved. Similar problems were fixed - with mv when copying across file system boundaries. This problem - affects all versions of coreutils through 6.6. - cp --preserve=ownership would create output files that temporarily - had too-generous permissions in some cases. For example, when - copying a file with group A and mode 644 into a group-B sticky - directory, the output file was briefly readable by group B. - Fix similar problems with cp options like -p that imply - --preserve=ownership, with install -d when combined with either -o - or -g, and with mv when copying across file system boundaries. - This bug affects coreutils 6.0 through 6.6. - du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any directory - listed as second or subsequent command line argument. This bug affects - coreutils-6.4, 6.5 and 6.6. -* Wed Nov 22 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.6. - ** Bug fixes - ls would segfault (dereference a NULL pointer) for a file with a - nameless group or owner. This bug was introduced in coreutils-6.5. - A bug in the latest official m4/gettext.m4 (from gettext-0.15) - made configure fail to detect gettext support, due to the unusual - way in which coreutils uses AM_GNU_GETTEXT. - ** Improved robustness - Now, du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) honor a - trailing slash in the name of a symlink-to-directory even on - Solaris 9, by working around its buggy fstatat implementation. -* Mon Nov 20 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.5. - ** Bug fixes - du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) would exit early - when encountering an inaccessible directory on a system with native - openat support (i.e., linux-2.6.16 or newer along with glibc-2.4 - or newer). This bug was introduced with the switch to gnulib's - openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0. - "ln --backup f f" now produces a sensible diagnostic - ** New features - rm accepts a new option: --one-file-system -* Mon Oct 23 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.4. - ** Bug fixes - chgrp and chown would malfunction when invoked with both -R and -H and - with one or more of the following: --preserve-root, --verbose, --changes, - --from=o:g (chown only). This bug was introduced with the switch to - gnulib's openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0. - cp --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir2/dir1 to dir2/dir1~. - This bug was introduced in coreutils-6.0. - With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR. - For example, "rm -f existing-non-directory/anything" now exits - successfully, ignoring the error about a nonexistent file. -* Mon Oct 09 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.3. - ** Improved robustness - pinky no longer segfaults on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) due to a - buggy native getaddrinfo function. - rm works around a bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) that would - sometimes keep it from removing all entries in a directory on an HFS+ - or NFS-mounted partition. - sort would fail to handle very large input (around 40GB) on systems with a - mkstemp function that returns a file descriptor limited to 32-bit offsets. - ** Bug fixes - chmod would fail unnecessarily in an unusual case: when an initially- - inaccessible argument is rendered accessible by chmod's action on a - preceding command line argument. This bug also affects chgrp, but - it is harder to demonstrate. It does not affect chown. The bug was - introduced with the switch from explicit recursion to the use of fts - in coreutils-5.1.0 (2003-10-15). - cp -i and mv -i occasionally neglected to prompt when the copy or move - action was bound to fail. This bug dates back to before fileutils-4.0. - With --verbose (-v), cp and mv would sometimes generate no output, - or neglect to report file removal. - For the "groups" command: - "groups" no longer prefixes the output with "user :" unless more - than one user is specified; this is for compatibility with BSD. - "groups user" now exits nonzero when it gets a write error. - "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly. - shuf would infloop, given 8KB or more of piped input - ** Portability - Versions of chmod, chown, chgrp, du, and rm (tools that use openat etc.) - compiled for Solaris 8 now also work when run on Solaris 10. -* Wed Oct 04 2006 agruen@suse.de -- cp: Replace the old --attributes=regex option with - --preserve=xattrs.

This avoids some race conditions, but it - means you may need to kill two processes to stop these programs. - rm now rejects attempts to remove the root directory, e.g., `rm -fr /' - now fails without removing anything. Likewise for any file name with - a final `./' or `../' component. - tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, no file - operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO; formerly it did - this only for pipes. - ** Infrastructure changes - Coreutils now uses gnulib via the gnulib-tool script. - If you check the source out from CVS, then follow the instructions - in README-cvs. Although this represents a large change to the - infrastructure, it should cause no change in how the tools work. - ** Bug fixes - cp --backup no longer fails when the last component of a source file - name is "." or "..". - "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories - no differently than regular directories on a file system with - dirent.d_type support. - "mv -T --verbose --backup=t A B" now prints the " (backup: B.~1~)" - suffix when A and B are directories as well as when they are not. - mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments - where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in - a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B, - now succeeds, once more. This bug was introduced in coreutils-5.3.0. -* Fri Sep 01 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Fix sbin patch [#202632]. -* Mon Aug 21 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.1. - ** Changes in behavior - df now considers BSD "kernfs" file systems to be dummies - ** Bug fixes - cp --sparse preserves sparseness at the end of a file, even when - the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size. - [introduced with the original design, in fileutils-4.0r, 2000-04-29] - df (with a command line argument) once again prints its header - [introduced in coreutils-6.0] - ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases involving non-stat'able files - [introduced in coreutils-6.0] -* Tue Aug 15 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 6.0. - ** Improved robustness - df: if the file system claims to have more available than total blocks, - report the number of used blocks as being "total - available" - (a negative number) rather than as garbage. - dircolors: a new autoconf run-test for AIX's buggy strndup function - prevents malfunction on that system; may also affect cut, expand, - and unexpand. - fts no longer changes the current working directory, so its clients - (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer malfunction under extreme conditions. - pwd and other programs using lib/getcwd.c work even on file systems - where dirent.d_ino values are inconsistent with those from stat.st_ino. - rm's core is now reentrant: rm --recursive (-r) now processes - hierarchies without changing the working directory at all. - ** Changes in behavior - basename and dirname now treat // as different from / on platforms - where the two are distinct. - chmod, install, and mkdir now preserve a directory's set-user-ID and - set-group-ID bits unless you explicitly request otherwise. E.g., - `chmod 755 DIR' and `chmod u=rwx,go=rx DIR' now preserve DIR's - set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits instead of clearing them, and - similarly for `mkdir -m 755 DIR' and `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx DIR'. To - clear the bits, mention them explicitly in a symbolic mode, e.g., - `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,-s DIR'. To set them, mention them explicitly - in either a symbolic or a numeric mode, e.g., `mkdir -m 2755 DIR', - `mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,g+s' DIR. This change is for convenience on - systems where these bits inherit from parents. Unfortunately other - operating systems are not consistent here, and portable scripts - cannot assume the bits are set, cleared, or preserved, even when the - bits are explicitly mentioned. For example, OpenBSD 3.9 `mkdir -m - 777 D' preserves D's setgid bit but `chmod 777 D' clears it. - Conversely, Solaris 10 `mkdir -m 777 D', `mkdir -m g-s D', and - `chmod 0777 D' all preserve D's setgid bit, and you must use - something like `chmod g-s D' to clear it. - `cp --link --no-dereference' now works also on systems where the - link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link. - This change has no effect on systems with a Linux-based kernel. - csplit and nl now use POSIX syntax for regular expressions, not - Emacs syntax. As a result, character classes like [[:print:]] and - interval expressions like A\{1,9\} now have their usual meaning, - . no longer matches the null character, and \ must precede the + and - ? operators. - date: a command like date -d '2006-04-23 21 days ago' would print - the wrong date in some time zones. (see the test for an example) - df now considers "none" and "proc" file systems to be dummies and - therefore does not normally display them. Also, inaccessible file - systems (which can be caused by shadowed mount points or by chrooted - bind mounts) are now dummies, too. - expr no longer complains about leading ^ in a regular expression - (the anchor is ignored), or about regular expressions like A** (the - second "*" is ignored). expr now exits with status 2 (not 3) for - errors it detects in the expression's values; exit status 3 is now - used only for internal errors (such as integer overflow, which expr - now checks for). - install and mkdir now implement the X permission symbol correctly, - e.g., `mkdir -m a+X dir'; previously the X was ignored. - install now creates parent directories with mode u=rwx,go=rx (755) - instead of using the mode specified by the -m option; and it does - not change the owner or group of parent directories. This is for - compatibility with BSD and closes some race conditions. - ln now uses different (and we hope clearer) diagnostics when it fails. - ln -v now acts more like FreeBSD, so it generates output only when - successful and the output is easier to parse. - ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', not --time-style='posix-long-iso'. - However, the 'locale' time style now behaves like 'posix-long-iso' - if your locale settings appear to be messed up. This change - attempts to have the default be the best of both worlds. - mkfifo and mknod no longer set special mode bits (setuid, setgid, - and sticky) with the -m option. - nohup's usual diagnostic now more precisely specifies the I/O - redirections, e.g., "ignoring input and appending output to - nohup.out". Also, nohup now redirects stderr to nohup.out (or - $HOME/nohup.out) if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty; this is in - response to Open Group XCU ERN 71. - rm --interactive now takes an optional argument, although the - default of using no argument still acts like -i. - rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory - seq changes: - seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose - information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers. - You no longer need the `-f%%.f' in `seq -f%%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', - for example, since the default format now has the same effect. - seq now lets you use %%a, %%A, %%E, %%F, and %%G formats. - seq now uses long double internally rather than double. - sort now reports incompatible options (e.g., -i and -n) rather than - silently ignoring one of them. - stat's --format=FMT option now works the way it did before 5.3.0: - FMT is automatically newline terminated. The first stable release - containing this change was 5.92. - stat accepts the new option --printf=FMT, where FMT is *not* - automatically newline terminated. - stat: backslash escapes are interpreted in a format string specified - via --printf=FMT, but not one specified via --format=FMT. That includes - octal (\ooo, at most three octal digits), hexadecimal (\xhh, one or - two hex digits), and the standard sequences (\a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, - \v, \", \\). - With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f' only if - standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. - Formerly, it ignored the '-f' when standard input was a FIFO, pipe, - or socket. - ** Scheduled for removal - ptx's --copyright (-C) option is scheduled for removal in 2007, and - now evokes a warning. Use --version instead. - rm's --directory (-d) option is scheduled for removal in 2006. This - option has been silently ignored since coreutils 5.0. On systems - that support unlinking of directories, you can use the "unlink" - command to unlink a directory. - Similarly, we are considering the removal of ln's --directory (-d, - -F) option in 2006. Please write to if this - would cause a problem for you. On systems that support hard links - to directories, you can use the "link" command to create one. - ** New programs - base64: base64 encoding and decoding (RFC 3548) functionality. - sha224sum: print or check a SHA224 (224-bit) checksum - sha256sum: print or check a SHA256 (256-bit) checksum - sha384sum: print or check a SHA384 (384-bit) checksum - sha512sum: print or check a SHA512 (512-bit) checksum - shuf: Shuffle lines of text. - ** New features - chgrp now supports --preserve-root, --no-preserve-root (default), - as it was documented to do, and just as chmod, chown, and rm do. - New dd iflag= and oflag= flags: - 'directory' causes dd to fail unless the file is a directory, on - hosts that support this (e.g., Linux kernels, version 2.1.126 and - later). This has limited utility but is present for completeness. - 'noatime' causes dd to read a file without updating its access - time, on hosts that support this (e.g., Linux kernels, version - 2.6.8 and later). - 'nolinks' causes dd to fail if the file has multiple hard links, - on hosts that support this (e.g., Solaris 10 and later). - ls accepts the new option --group-directories-first, to make it - list directories before files. - rm now accepts the -I (--interactive=once) option. This new option - prompts once if rm is invoked recursively or if more than three - files are being deleted, which is less intrusive than -i prompting - for every file, but provides almost the same level of protection - against mistakes. - shred and sort now accept the --random-source option. - sort now accepts the --random-sort (-R) option and `R' ordering option. - sort now supports obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" unless - POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. However, when conforming to POSIX - 1003.1-2001 "sort +1" still sorts the file named "+1". - wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE contains a - list of NUL-terminated file names. - ** Bug fixes - cat with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T, when applied to a - file in /proc or /sys (linux-specific), would truncate its output, - usually printing nothing. - cp -p would fail in a /proc-less chroot, on some systems - When `cp -RL' encounters the same directory more than once in the - hierarchy beneath a single command-line argument, it no longer confuses - them with hard-linked directories. - fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer fail due to - a double-free bug -- it could be triggered by making a directory - inaccessible while e.g., du is traversing the hierarchy under it. - fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer misinterpret - a very long symlink chain as a dangling symlink. Before, such a - misinterpretation would cause these tools not to diagnose an ELOOP error. - ls --indicator-style=file-type would sometimes stat a symlink - unnecessarily. - ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash (-p), - rather than like --indicator-style=file-type. - mv: moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory is - now done atomically; before, mv would first unlink the destination. - mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally. Also, mv can - now remove an empty destination directory: mkdir -p a b/a; mv a b - rm (on systems with openat) can no longer exit before processing - all command-line arguments. - rm is no longer susceptible to a few low-probability memory leaks. - rm -r no longer fails to remove an inaccessible and empty directory - rm -r's cycle detection code can no longer be tricked into reporting - a false positive (introduced in fileutils-4.1.9). - shred --remove FILE no longer segfaults on Gentoo systems - sort would fail for large inputs (~50MB) on systems with a buggy - mkstemp function. sort and tac now use the replacement mkstemp - function, and hence are no longer subject to limitations (of 26 or 32, - on the maximum number of files from a given template) on HP-UX 10.20, - SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.5.1 and OSF1/Tru64 V4.0F&V5.1. - tail -f once again works on a file with the append-only - attribute (affects at least Linux ext2, ext3, xfs file systems) -* Tue Aug 08 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Move sux to %%{_bindir}. -* Mon Jun 26 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 5.97. - ** Bug fixes - rebuild with better autoconf test for when the lstat replacement - function is needed -- required for Solaris 9 - cat with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T, when applied to a - file in /proc or /sys (linux-specific), would truncate its output, - usually printing nothing. - ** Improved robustness - dircolors: a new autoconf run-test for AIX's buggy strndup function - prevents malfunction on that system; may also affect cut, expand, - and unexpand. - ** New features - chgrp now supports --preserve-root, --no-preserve-root (default), - as it was documented to do, and just as chmod, chown, and rm do. -* Thu Jun 22 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Fix conflict with . -* Mon May 22 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 5.96. -* Sat May 13 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Update to coreutils 5.95. -* Fri Apr 07 2006 cthiel@suse.de -- added Obsoletes: libselinux (hack for bug #156519) -* Mon Feb 13 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Fix spurious failure with cp -LR. -- Move check for /proc. -* Mon Jan 30 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Always print newline after format in stat [#145905]. -- Barf if /proc is not mounted. -* Wed Jan 25 2006 mls@suse.de -- converted neededforbuild to BuildRequires -* Thu Jan 19 2006 meissner@suse.de -- Do not strip /bin/su. -* Wed Jan 11 2006 schwab@suse.de -- Fix infloop when ignoring characters [#141756]. -* Mon Dec 19 2005 kukuk@suse.de -- Add fallback if futimesat does not work -* Mon Dec 05 2005 ke@suse.de -- Fix typo in German translation file; reported by Olaf Hering -
