hello, i tried to install coreutils onto a new partition as part of a plain new x86_64 system. i did this from a fedora8 system because my old one is a 32bit system. however, the fedora8 system is really more than feature-complete (including compatibility and deprecated stuff) and all the tool packages i installed linked to all of that freeheartedly. other packages, like util-linux, at least allowed for disabling this behaviour. coreutils doesn't provide such a --without-extras (or similar) option. this said, i now have a problem with all of the freshly installed coreutils searching for something (libtinfo, libselinux, etc.) when i try to start the plain new system to populate it natively. this is a great problem because the new system should be as small as possible to make stripping dependencies to the parent system as easy as possible.
please support a 'plain' installation without extra dependencies. many thanks, dennis heuer _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
