Hello!
I was trying to install util-linux-selinux which would've replaced a core
package when I got exit code 4. I tried running it as root and with git
clone but I was always getting this error and this email to report the
issue to. Thanks for the help in advance!

So in your environment isatty(STDIN_FILENO) returns ok,
but ttyname(STDIN_FILENO) returns NULL.
Can you give more details on your build environment?
How does util-linux-selinux relate to coreutils BTW?

cheers,
Pádraig
