debianutils / coreutils



Hello,

I tried to upgrade debianutils from 1.16   to   1.16.2woody1
and retreived the following error:

>>
(Reading database ... 111696 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace debianutils 1.16 (using .../debianutils_1.16.2woody1_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils_1.16.2woody1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/bin/readlink', which is also in package coreutils

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:

It's this package:

aptitude 0.2.11.1

Next i tried to fetch coreutils source, but retreived:
>>
 r: apt-get source coreutils
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for coreutils
<<

In sources.list i have these pointers:
# stable (Woody):
deb-src ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ woody contrib main non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

dpkg -L shows no /bin/readlink file included in debianutils.
Why or what trying to overwrite then ?


Somebody can help me ?
