You should at least be able to select the "prev" version (which is
5.2.1-5).  If you want to get back to 5.3.0-7, the simplest workaround is
"cp coreutils-5.3.0-7.tar.bz2 coreutils-5.3.0-8.tar.bz2" and reinstall
5.3.0-8.  Stay tuned for 5.3.0-9.

If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity
