Public bug reported:
It's very handy to install build-essential meta package on dev systems,
but it seems to have a hard dependency on coreutils-from-uutils. When I
replaced it by coreutils-from-gnu by running:
sudo apt install coreutils-from-gnu coreutils-from-uutils- --allow-
remove-essential
It ended up removing build-essential meta package from my system.
It would be useful to have a virtual package for coreutils that accept
any of the available flavors and make users' lives easier to replace one
by another.
