Bug description:
  Binary package hint: time

  This is a cut and paste from a bug reported on the debian bug tracking
  system. since this bug hasn't been fixed in about one year and is also
  present in ubuntu, I am reporting it here. Maybe someone here will
  know how to fix it.

  Subject: time: Time does not parse its parameters
  Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 16:21:02 +0200

  Package: time
  Version: 1.7-21
  Severity: important

  
  Time does  not parse its own  parameters and treats  everything on the
  command line like the program it should run and its parameters.

  For example the following works:

  jamborm at cetus:~/tmp/randwrite$ time bash < /dev/null

  real    0m0.005s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.004s

  But this does not:

  jamborm at cetus:~/tmp time -f "%e" bash < /dev/null
  bash: -f: command not found

  real    0m0.002s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.000s

  OTOH, I suspect  this might be a bash issue because  I have just found
  out that /usr/bin/time works as expected.

  TIA

  Martin
