Hi folks,
Slightly confused by the packages.qa.d.o page about coreutils, I
started investigating FTBFS on powerpc. I've since seen that 8.13-3.4
is already built and installed everywhere, but it reliably fails to
build for me with testsuite failures similar to those reported in
#687906, reported against 8.13-3.3. Building on my local powerpc box
works with the attached debdiff, and I'm worried about maybe releasing
wheezy with stuff that doesn't build. What do you think of this debdiff?
