coreutils 5.97-5.3ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

coreutils (5.97-5.3ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Merge to Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - 60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch: Cause cp to replace special
      files when "-a -f" is specified, and the special already exists; instead
      of just erroring. (Reported upstream in
      http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00018.html)
    - 64_mkdir-chmod-race.patch: Avoid --mode race when using mkdir in a
      world-writable directory.  Another local user could use the race
      condition to gain unintended permissions to files. (Debian #304556,
      fixed upstream in 6.1). [CVE-2005-1039]
    - 98_fix_chmod_manpage: Fix description of the sticky bit for directories.
      (Debian #376745, LP #24896, fix applied upstream)
    - 99a_fix_cp_manpage: Fix formatting of 'mv' and 'cp' manpages. (Debian
      #351601, fix applied upstream).

coreutils (5.97-5.3) unstable; urgency=high

  * This is a non-maintainer upload done with the maintainer's blessing,
    to fix a FTBS bug, and to get the SELinux changes in through to Etch.
  * Bug fix: "coreutils - FTBFS", thanks to Bastian Blank and Andreas
    Barth. The problem is with a build time test suite, which did not
    take into account that there could be two directory names with the
    same inode, which is what happens if there is a bind mount.  So this
    is not anything s390 specific, nor is it a problem with the coreutils
    package itself, just with the build time test.  Applied a version of
    the patch being used by upstream to fix the test.
                                                 (Closes: #380552, #407628).
