Details

An updated sh-utils package that fixes support for large files is now
available.

The sh-utils package contains several utilities that are often used in
shell scripts, such as id, uname, and whoami.

The sh-utils package was not previously built with support for handling of
large files, and as a result, some utilities would fail when encountering them.

This updated sh-utils package provides large file support enabled.

All users of sh-utils should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
