the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/coreutils.list seems to be corrupted.
Check it (and possibly also the filesystem)

In case of dubt, you could try

mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/coreutils.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/coreutils.list.CORRUPTED
touch /var/lib/dpkg/info/coreutils.list
apt-get --reinstall install coreutils
