I'd appreciate a double-check on the test as I'm not sure if its comprehensive enough |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
currently testing that the command continues to succeed when overridden with duplicate argument flags, might be good to test that the override is also the last one passed through?
e.g. when you test the mode (-m) maybe you can assert that the mode is what it should be?

I'm so sorry; github decided not to notify me of your comment and I've only now found it.
I'll submit a PR to do that later today.

Previously in uu-install, this would occur:
However, GNU install would create a file with permission
640.Fixes #8033
Now, uu-install will override previous arguments with the last one, in line with GNU behaviour (I checked and this behaviour does occur for all arguments not just --mode)
Note: I haven't checked the other coreutils but I suspect they may also need to be changed
