Description krichter722 2015-06-01 10:51:10 UTC 
This can be avoided by installing coreutils 8.23 from source. It'd be nice to check the version of the installed and figure out the necessary version of coreutils and provide a more helpful error message.

Well, we ultimately don't care which implementation is used, as long as it supports --relative...

That said, I'd be willing to merge a patch that extends the error and suggests to use at least coreutils 8.23.
