Bug Description

https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/proposed-migration/stonking_uninst.txt
reports that coreutils-from-toybox & coreutils-from-busybox are uninstallable.

If the installability cannot be fixed, please remove these packages. I think practically Ubuntu doesn't support a system with either of those packages installed anyway.

LP: #2147025 was previously reported but the syntax described there isn't working for me.

This syntax works:

sudo apt install coreutils-from-busybox coreutils-from-uutils- coreutils- --allow-remove-essential

I followed by also uninstalling rust-coreutils and gnu-coreutils. And the system booted at least.

The toybox version breaks dracut. Maybe we don't need a toybox version?

If we must have these in Ubuntu, maybe a future version of the installability report can skip reporting on these packages.
