forcemerge 1138992 1148239
thanks
Hi,
given that newer coreutils provides some features we really shoudn't
miss having in Debian, given that these two bugs are open since quite
some while without answer from Michael, and that contacting Michael
didn't result in any success either on other packages for a long time to
(#1142760), I've uploaded 9.12-0.1 to delayed 10 targetting experimental.
If there's no other upload before the 10 days pass, and 9.12-0.1 builds
fine on all architectures in experimental, I would do a second upload to
unstable afterwards.
The NMU-diff is attached.
Regards,
Daniel
