Hello Faheem,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately I'd already overwritten
the 'coreutils-packages' of sarge (shellutils and textutils) with
their newest versions. That means that I had installed coreutils
sometimes before I did apt-get dist-upgrade (I think due to
dependencies of a SID package I needed).
Now I got coreutils in the apt database, but the utilities are
overwritten by the sarge packages.

What hapens if I remove coreutils? I don't knoww if it's possible
to remove it. If it's possible I think I have to reinstall
shellutils, textutils, and fileutils.
