Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2.1
Followup-For: Bug #361799

Hi,

I'm also unable to upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.94, but with a different error

(Reading database ... 210062 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace coreutils 5.2.1-2.1 (using .../coreutils_5.94-1_i386.deb) 
...

As you can see, I am getting an error about a read only file system. However 
/etc/mtab looks like this


/dev/hda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda5 /usr ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/hda6 /var ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/hdd1 /usr/local/scratch ext3 rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,size=10M,mode=0755 0 0

so as you can see /usr (and everything else) is mounted rw.
