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. debian:/home/gerhard# apt-cache policy fileutils fileutils: Installed: 4.1-10 Candidate: 4.1-10 Version Table: *** 4.1-10 0 1001 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages 1001 ftp://ftp.uni-koeln.de testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status debian:/home/gerhard# apt-cache policy shellutils shellutils: Installed: 2.0.12-2 Candidate: 2.0.12-2 Version Table: *** 2.0.12-2 0 1001 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages 1001 ftp://ftp.uni-koeln.de testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status debian:/home/gerhard# apt-cache policy textutils textutils: Installed: 2.1-1 Candidate: 2.1-1 Version Table: *** 2.1-1 0 1001 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages 1001 ftp://ftp.uni-koeln.de testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status debian:/home/gerhard# debian:/home/gerhard# apt-cache policy coreutils coreutils: Installed: 4.5.1-2 Candidate: 4.5.1-2 Version Table: *** 4.5.1-2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status What hapens if I remove coreutils?
