Yes, the original modules-config works fine with the "wc" in
coreutils 5.0.91-2, because this wc doesn't have any leading spaces.
(I was a bit surprised to see this difference in behaviour
wasn't reported in the changelogs when upgrading from 5.0-3.)
It's probably best to change the modules-config anyway, to make
it work with earlier versions of wc. The alternative would be
to add a dependancy on the coreutils version which is probably
over-kill.
Cheers,
Chris.
