Hi Simon,
Thanks for the report.
In daily builds of gnulib itself? built how?
In normal practice, the .tarball-version file exists only
when the working directory is the result of unpacking a tarball.
Please tell me how to reproduce the failure you're seeing.
I've just tried with the coreutils-6.12 release tarball.
I removed the .tarball-version file, reran "make" and "make dist",
and both worked fine.
