Sure the SPEC is broken since the dependency is on a binary file from package coreutils, rather than another RPM.
I am not sure what you mean by that - are you implying that coreutils is not an RPM ? or do you mean to say that the dep is for a file rather than a rpm ?
because, coreutils is a rpm, so other packages can depend on components from this rpm. And its fine for a rpm to have a dependency on a specific file, it does not need to only depend on other rpms.
