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

[Simon Johnsson]

Hello there edd! I tested this out on the latest version of rust-
coreutils (0.7.0) on Resolute Raccoon and softlinks are now working for
me in Emacs dired mode.

I have not tried any operations beyond listing the directory and viewing
the contents of the softlinked file however, so if there is any specific
action sequence that does not work, please feel free to let me know.

All the best,
Simon

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.
