Package: lintian Version: 1.23.32 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
Non-versioned dependencies on coreutils are not currently considered errors due to 216536. The transition is over for some time now, and even on the bug report it's acknowledged that this should be reverted post sarge. Attached a patch which fixes this. regards, guillem
