- Ubuntu 25.10's transition to Rust Coreutils is causing major breakage for some executables.
- Benchmarks like Unigine and GravityMark are failing due to MD5 checksum errors when using Rust Coreutils.
- Makeself archives, which rely on the md5sum command, are particularly affected by the differences between GNU and Rust Coreutils.
- Replacing Rust Coreutils with GNU Coreutils resolves the MD5 errors, confirming the issue lies with Rust Coreutils.
- Bug reports on Ubuntu's Launchpad indicate other Makeself files, such as those from VirtualBox, are also failing.
- Ubuntu 25.10 is due for release soon, raising concerns about unresolved Rust Coreutils issues affecting common files and scripts.
