Hi everyone,
I've just noticed coreutils 8.1 in [testing] repo and I think I should
warn you. Unfortunatelly it has one quite bad regression which can
break quite many scripts.

There is a change in rm command (it's fixed in git repository) that
when you try to remove "" it immediately exits without removing any
other specified files. Unfortunately this breaks many scripts and
Makefiles(IIRC there's problem with eg. libxt).

I suggest NOT to upgrade to coreutils 8.1 before the old behavior is restored.

You should get this to the bug tracker, an upstream fix is already available, so this should be corrected easily and quickly.
