This is the expected behavior.  Something in how our lynx package builds
relies on behavior from a system utility that differs between the
built-in version and that from coreutils-default.  (I haven't looked at
it, but it might be possible to do something different here, such as to
include full paths so that things like "mv", "cp", and "install" are
guaranteed to be the system's version).  After lynx is built there is no
such conflict.

As the message says, coreutils-default will be removed while lynx is
built, and then reinstalled afterwards.  If there's a build failure,
coreutils-default will still be reinstalled.

Basically you just won't have coreutils-default while you're building
lynx.
