I have uploaded coreutils-5.2.1-3.
This package superseeds the packages fileutils, sh-utils and textutils.
Changes since 5.2.1-2:
- cp(1) always copies in binary mode.
- ln(1) can hardlink executables even if the .exe suffix is missing
on the command line like this:
$ ls -l foo*
-rwx

I guess the problem is starting up gconfd-2. It fails if there is a
stale /tmp/gconfd-USER directory with files in it, look into /tmp if
there is a directory gconfd-USE

Well, no one uses VC++ on Linux :-). But this is a problem with other
tools as well (e.g. the gcc distribution included gcj and a bastard

Just make sure

- Fix setup keeping open handles to every tarball it installs during a run.
- Fix a miscellany of error-reporting deficiencies.
