emerging coreutils on a gentoo 1.2 box (i tested on two of them) causes fileutils, sh-utils and textutils to be still needed (tested with: emerge -up world) ; infact, sh-utils fileutils and textutils are still in /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0/packages and coreutils is also missing from it. this doesn't happen of gentoo 1.4 boxes it is possible to update the default-1.0 profile to handle coreutils correctly ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
ok, the profile now has coreutils by default
