Hi everyone, I've just noticed coreutils 8.1 in [testing] repo and I think I should warn you. Unfortunatelly it has one quite bad regression which can break quite many scripts. You should file on our bug tracker too.
So here we go – Flyspray bug number 17382. Has anyone actually run into this regression when building a package? I did most of the heimdal rebuild with this and never ran into it. A good make file uses rm -f anyway, which negates this bug...

I have just tried rm -f and it doesn't help. In fact I expected it because it stops when parsing options, not when the files are deleted.
I was sure I read on the coreutils list that -f was a workaround. It seems I recall wrong.
