Hello Justin and DPKG maintainers,

I made the file coreutils_5.97-5_i386.deb (made with 'dd bs=1 count=7980')
available at
<http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/misc/coreutils_5.97-5_i386.deb>

On Etch:

# LANG=C dpkg -i coreutils_5.97-5_i386.deb

Preparing to replace coreutils 5.97-5.3 (using coreutils_5.97-5_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement coreutils ...

On Sid:

sid# LANG=C dpkg -i coreutils_5.97-5_i386.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading coreutils from 7.1-2 to 5.97-5.
(Reading database ... 110692 files and directories currently installed.)

(--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 coreutils_5.97-5_i386.deb

This suggest that this bug was fixed in sid dpkg.
