bug#392: coreutils isn't building df

Package: coreutils

In HEAD, coreutils is not building or installing df when it is built
for the singularity DESTIMG.  I believe that this is the only tool in
the coreutils suite which it is skipping, but there may be others as
well.

Bugs, errors and the like!

Hi Nick,
              Don't know if you are the person to send this to or not.
Searched many pages at lnx-bbc but each one just added to my frustration.
So, in the end, I just picked a name at random in the hope that if you are
not the right person to receive this you will forward it on my behalf.

I have 2 problems I would like to make you aware of.

1. The official release V2.1 has a serious problem with 'trivial-net-setup'
(I shall refer to it only as tns hereafter).
    It terminates prematurely with a serious error - a program check. The
exact wording of the message received is:

   /bin/trivial-net-setup  : line 495    704 Illegal instruction  2.1
$DHCPCD  -d  "$INTERFACE"

   Of course the net result is that my internet connection is not activated
and I cannot proceed.

Since I could not use the system I decided to try one of the 'Daily builds'
The one I selected was -  BBC STABLE.2003.09.20T17_44_18_0700
Using this, the tns command worked just fine. My connection was enabled.

So, next step, try the browser after starting Xwindow.

I started it the suggested way by Rightclicking on the desktop and using the
internet option to start Mozilla.

There was a rather long delay until eventually an error msg was produced.
The error was in a box and said:

Just now Ronnie made 15 LEDs in my apartment flash with this:

There was a problem with the dhcpcd program which was that it was
compiled for i686 processors (Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, and
Athlon).  The net result of this error is that dhcpcd won't work on
386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, K6, or K6-2 processors.  This bug was
fixed in May, and so the dhcpcd that's included in recent nightly
builds should work fine on any 386 or better processor (please let us
know if that's not the case).

-Nate
