Package: coreutils
Version: 6.10-6
Severity: important

During an etch->lenny upgrade, between the time that coreutils is upgraded
and the kernel is upgraded and booted, 'df' fails to operate.  This causes
all installations that depend on a working df to fail (mysql is one).  The
whole upgrade process aborts at that point leaving the system in a partially
upgraded state.

The output of df during the failure period is:
df: /': Function not implemented
df: /lib/init/rw': Function not implemented
df: /sys': Function not implemented
df: /dev': Function not implemented
df: /dev/shm': Function not implemented
df: /dev/pts': Function not implemented
df: /boot': Function not implemented
df: /proc/fs/nfsd': Function not implemented
df: /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs': Function not implemented
df: no file systems processed

To jump-start the upgrade, I was forced to write a simple script that
simply echo'ed out a faked df output.
