Package: coreutils
Version: 8.13-3.5
Severity: critical
File: /bin/cp
Justification: causes serious data loss
creating two files, identical names, different dates.
after executing cp --attributes-only second file has no data.
cp shouldn't delete anything, just copy.
debian stable shouldn't have this issue. it's fixed in 8.17,
there is no backport to stable since May 2012.
