You really need to tell us more about your system. What did you do preceding |

this? |

What is that statement based on? How did you check it? What's the output of |
| 23 |
`emerge -pv coreutils`? If you have either gentoolkit or portageutils |
| 24 |
installed (or am able to install it) please show the output of either `equery |
| 25 |
check coreutils` or `qcheck coreutils`. `emerge --info` would be nice too.. |

An easy solution might be to emerge busybox if possible.. Otherwise we really |
| 30 |
need to know more.. |
