xargs -I option bug

[p . skubak]

Hi,

the bug I want to report is as follows:

Program: GNU xargs version 4.1.20

Description: the -I switch is not recognized, while
the -i option works fine

Example (the following should take every file in pwd
and compress it to separate tgz file):

> ls | xargs -ireplace tar -czf replace.tgz replace
works ok
> ls | xargs -I replace tar -czf replace.tgz replace
returns error message 
xargs: invalid option -- I

Reproducibility: always

Regards,

Pavol Skubak.
