Bug description:
  `base64` provided by rust-coreutils/0.3.0-0ubuntu2 (resolute-proposed)
  is unable to decode the attached `base64_core` file.

  ❯ base64 -d base64_core >/dev/null

  thread 'main' panicked at src/uu/base32/src/base_common.rs:615:22:
  called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: USimpleError { code: 1, message: "error: invalid input" }
  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
  zsh: IOT instruction  base64 -d base64_core > /dev/null

  ❯ echo $?
  134

  ❯ gnubase64 -d base64_core >/dev/null
  ❯ echo $?
  0

  The current commit of the upstream repo (ccc6233fba5281880cf01517755a594e7c47156c) doesn't have the issue anymore, so I'm fairly confident the issue is actually already fixed and will reach resolute at some point.
  I'm opening the bug to actually track the issue and refer to it wherever I need to work around it.

  Just in case anyone is wondering, the attached file is a base64(gzip(coredump file)) from the `cat` utility coming from https://code.launchpad.net/~daisy-pluckers/+recipe/apport-test-crashes
  The following shows some details:
  ❯ gnubase64 -d base64_core | gzip -d | file -
  /dev/stdin: ELF 64-bit LSB core file, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from '/usr/bin/cat'
