Not really caring to go look up whatever silly things _Redhat_ did with
their fileutils package, I'll toss out not fake, just dim-witted.  Unless
you did something specifically to _make_ one of the binaries from the fileutils

Next time you want something like this verified, forward the _whole_
announcement so we can have a good laugh about it.
