This package does not belong to woody. In woody you should have fileutils, shellutils and textutils. I suggest that you use woody or sarge, but mixing the two will give you a lot of problems. If I were you I would reinstall the system from scratch as a learning experience. BTW: Unless some random cracker installed coreutils for you, this is a question for debian-user, not debian-security. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
