Dude, you must have a _very_ weired distribution mixture, the coreutils
package is essential since the Sarge (aka oldstable) release.  Did you
ever run "apt-get dist-upgrade" on that machine?

I think you have to resolve this huge backlog of old packages before
anything else.  This might involve upgrading them their to Sarge version
