In a lxc Ubuntu Questing container with a git main build of the rust coreutils

$ sudo cp .cargo/bin/coreutils /usr/bin/coreutils
cp: '.cargo/bin/coreutils' -> '/usr/bin/coreutils': Text file busy (os error 26)

while

$ sudo gnucp .cargo/bin/coreutils /usr/bin/coreutils
$

use the -f flag isn't making a difference either
