Bug in Coreutil's Rust Implementation Briefly Downed Ubuntu 25.10's Automatic Upgrade System

The fix came quickly, but this highlights the challenges of replacing core GNU utilities with Rust-based ones.

I read that headline and go GOOD! Ubuntu dot-10 releases are essentially public beta releases of major changes that Canonical is making to Ubuntu. The more problems caught and fixed in a dot-10 release, the fewer problems that escape into an LTS release. I am sorry that users are hitting problems, but glad that it is during a public testing phase and not after a major LTS release phase. The system is working here, and that makes it better for everyone in the end.

tbh I think Canonical has overextended itself for this release. When I read what they had accomplished in that short time I already got the feeling that this will cause more problems than it does good:( Good things need time!
