[Bug 2139037] Re: rust-coreutils breaks softlink handling in emacs dired mode

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Another follow-up: a gentler and preferable local fix is to link the GNU
coreutils `ls` in from `~/bin` or maybe `/usr/local/bin` to not mess
with package manager.

** Package changed: coreutils (Ubuntu) => rust-coreutils (Ubuntu)

Title:
  rust-coreutils breaks softlink handling in emacs dired mode

Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 25.10, all current, Emacs no longer has working support
  for softlinks in dired mode. Poking around on-line suggests that an
  external `ls` is used, and indeed by doing (a quick hacked)

  
  ```sh
  edd at paul:/tmp$ cd /usr/bin/
  edd at paul:/usr/bin$ sudo mv ls ls.rs
  edd at paul:/usr/bin$ sudo ln gnuls ls
  ```

  functionality was restored. Feel free to reassign to the emacs
  packages if you think that is more appropriate.
