Title:
  /usr/bin/b3sum is a dangling symlink

Status in coreutils-from package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  A number of checksum commands are installed as symlinks in /usr/bin, 
  pointing to the uutils command in ../lib/cargo/bin/coreutils .
   
  uutils normally provides both "b2sum" and "b3sum" commands, but 
  b3sum is missing in Ubuntu 25.10.

  $ ls -l /usr/bin/b2sum /usr/bin/b3sum 
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Sep 26 11:16 /usr/bin/b2sum -> ../lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/b2sum
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Sep 26 11:16 /usr/bin/b3sum -> ../lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/b3sum
  $ ls -lL /usr/bin/b2sum /usr/bin/b3sum 
  ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/b3sum': No such file or directory
  -rwxr-xr-x 115 root root 10828088 Sep 24 08:36 /usr/bin/b2sum
