Package: coreutils
Version: 7.4-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The package description's list of included binaries is out of date.
It fails to mention arch, base64, chcon/runcon, flock, sha224sum
(etc), shuf, and truncate (but it does include mktemp).
My patch also fixes a couple of other trivial issues in passing:
* the capitalised definite article in the short description is
deprecated in DevRef 6.2.2;
* the first paragraph of long description isn't particularly
descriptive (it just uses a couple of near-synonyms of
"core"), so replace it with some explanatory text from the
upstream website;
* also, add a Homepage: line.
However, I can't help feeling that the only sensible long-term
solution would be for packages like bsdutils, coreutils,
debianutils, and sysvinit-utils to maintain contents-lists like this
via some sort of standard debhelper tool...

Changed-By: Michael Stone <[email protected]>
Description:
coreutils - GNU core utilities
mktemp - coreutils mktemp transitional package
Closes: 535458 537476
Changes:
coreutils (7.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* new upstream version
- fix ls -1 output error (Closes: #537476)
- new program "stdbuf"
- chroot adds --userspec and --groups
- cp adds --reflink
- sort adds --human-numeric-sort
- tail --follow uses inotify
* update package description (Closes: #535458)
* tweak section and priority for mktemp package
* conflict with package "timeout". I think coreutils timeout is just
different enough that it shouldn't replace that package.
