Package: coreutils
Version: 6.10~20070907
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi there,

I cannot build the current coreutils from experimental from source on
PowerPC, because of a failure in the seq test suite:

The same sources build fine on i386.

Well, looks like it magically started working. I still don't see what in the seq code could have caused the failure, but all seems ok now on ppc. (I probably shouldn't say that, right?)
