In this video I discuss how Ubuntu's decision to use core utilities written in Rust (uutils) is causing various issues in the distro that could take a long time to completely fix and will likely lead to random bugs like the issue with automatic updates for a while to come.

Ubuntu's replacement of GNU core utilities (cp, ls, cat, chmod) with Rust-based uutils is causing critical bugs, including broken automatic updates due to incorrect file timestamp handling. Beyond technical issues, the MIT license of uutils raises concerns about potential proprietary forks, unlike GPL-protected GNU tools. While uutils passes most GNU test suite compatibility checks, edge cases continue to emerge, particularly affecting Ubuntu servers that rely on unattended security updates.
