unstable coreutils problem
Anyone else having a problem doing an apt-get upgrade on unstable today?
I saw earlier that someone was and they did an apt-get dist-upgrade but
that didn't fix my problem I still get
dpkg: regarding .../coreutils_4.5.1-1_i386.deb containing coreutils:
fileutils conflicts with stat
coreutils provides stat and is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_4.5.1-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
conflicting packages - not installing coreutils
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_4.5.1-1_i386.deb
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential
package fileutils due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often
bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak
option.
E: Reverse conflicts early remove for package 'coreutils' failed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
