This happened to me only after updating from ubuntu 25.04 to 25.10 to fix it i tried:

• updated rustc 1.81.0 1→ 1.91.1
• updated coreutils 0.0.29 → 0.4.0
• uninstalled cursor and installed the .deb from the website

and all good.

How did you installed coreutils? I'm getting

dpkg: warning: downgrading coreutils (9.5-1ubuntu2+0.0.0~ubuntu24) to (0.4.0)

Update rustc and coreutils

rustup install 1.91.1
rustup default 1.91.1
cargo install --version 0.4.0 coreutils

Remove the old binaries to use the new one instead

sudo rm /usr/bin/coreutils
sudo rm /bin/coreutils
