[Arch64] coreutils-6.5-1 & 6.5-1.1 broke, wait

I'm seeing alot of arch64 users reporting trouble with the coreutils 6.5-1 and 6.5-1.1 packages. Namely with the loss of 'su' in 6.5-1 and segmentation faults with 'ls' in 6.5-1.1
DO NOT UPGRADE to these versions!
See here for latest information on the 6.5-1.1 version and ls issues:

Such things shouldn't happen in my opinion, when comes to such an essential piece of system as coreutils...

The problem is arch64 doesn't have enough developers. If you compitent enough for it, pm AndyRTR with a resume for an arch64 developer postition and maybe you can help stop these things.

/bin/su is missing in arch64 pkg -1 but fixed in 1.1 version.

ls got unexpected broken in 6.5 coreutils package for both archs. we will soon test a patch: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-c … 00153.html

changelog was short, maybe too short  :?

This problem was really bothering, and it was not only related to Arch64.
