Package: coreutils
Version: 5.0.91-2
Kernel: 2.6.5-1-686
Libc: libc-2.3.2
Architecture: i686
-When running dist-upgrade from stable to testing, many of the important
files in /bin disappeared. I found that they were provided by the
"fileutils" package in stable, but by the "coreutils" package in testing.
Without some of these files (mv, ln, mkdir, etc), the dist-upgrade came to
a screeching halt. I assume that fileutils (stable) got removed during the
dist-upgrade, which prevented anything else from being installed.
I was able to sftp the important files from another system to get the
upgrade going again, and then "apt-get install coreutils".

Hence closing. Brian (or anyone else), please feel free to reopen
this if you find a way to reproduce it again. Thanks for the report
and sorry we weren't able to deal with it at the time.
