Description
Just run into this in my newest build while installing CA certs from BLFS:
"grep CVS_ID certdata.txt | cut -f4 -d'$'" should return "Revision: 1.87" but doesn't return anything.

There is one problem with this patch in that it requires autoreconf which is built after coreutils.

...well, blame that on me forgetting to set the date/time correctly on the virtual machine after a supsend/resume. I'll update the patch as soon as I can, assuming someone else doesn't get ot it first. Even though I updated makefile.in, the timestamps were not set correctly. A simple touch should fix this until the patch is updated.

Turns out the latest version of the i18n patch from Fedora fixes cut - apparently, it's a 64-bit specific issue according to the changelog. I just tested the patch out, and the command worked perfectly this time.
