Subject: [PATCH] ver_linux: Reference coreutils instead of sh-utils.

The Fileutils, Shellutils, and Textutils packages were combined to
create GNU Coreutils which had its first major release in 2003 [1]. It
is unlikely that someone is using Shellutils today, and likely that many
do not remember what the Shellutils package is.
