Turning Red Hat 7.1 into Debian testing: coreutils
A big one: coreutils-7.4-1.2 (was fileutils-4.0.36-4 + textutils-2.0.11-7 + sh-utils-2.0-13)
tail +N/ head +N / sort +N / uniq +N are all broken
cp/mv --reply is now invalid syntax
seq N M with N > M breaks (use seq N -1 M)
ls output formats (piped to awk/cut) broke
Multiple utilities like basename, cut, nice, and sort got moved between /usr/bin and /bin, or back (and some people hardcoded the full pathnames).
