Closed issue by loreb on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/30546

Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname:  
  (both musl and glibc)
* package:  
  recutils-1.8_1

### Expected behavior
recins works

### Actual behavior
Affected by https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/recutils.git/commit/utils/recutl.c?id=86f662a8202408134a235572ec60141d3082f975

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
try any example in the manual, eg
```
$ touch contacts.rec
$ recins -f Name -v "Mr Foo" -f Email -v foo@bar.baz contacts.rec
```

Works in /tmp, fails anywhere else with EXDEV;

For some deep GNU reasons https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/recutils/?C=M;O=A stops at 1.8,
while https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/recutils/ has the version with the bugfix included

cfr https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-recutils/2021-04/msg00001.html

(I'm reporting this here because it's not 100% clear to me if the GNU folks messed up updating the tarball
or there's a problem with the update script; fwiw the exact same issue happens on debian/sid)
