[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Coreutils 8.30-2 causes havoc on ZFS :/

Hi all,

Today I noticed that several packages failed to install:

> Setting up zfs-dkms (0.7.12-4) ...
> Loading new zfs-0.7.12 DKMS files...
> Building for 4.19.0-3-amd64

> mv: cannot move 'conftest.o' to a subdirectory of itself, 'conftstm.o'

Also TeX failed:

Searching a bit it seems this is due to a bug in coreutils:
#923420 "coreutils: mv broken when file system doesn't support RENAME_NOREPLACE”.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923420


Downgrading to 8.30-1 fixed these problems.
