Just today I found that rust-coreutils makes installing cuda toolkit impossible, related to use of `dd`: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/cuda-runfile-wont-extr...

Do you have more details? The thread you linked was about gzip, not dd.

The .run file is a shell script with a compressed archive appended:

    MS_dd "$0" $offset $s | eval "gzip -cd" | UnTAR t

Where

    MS_dd()
    {
        blocks=`expr $3 / 1024`
        bytes=`expr $3 % 1024`
        dd if="$1" ibs=$2 skip=1 obs=1024 conv=sync 2> /dev/null | \
        { test $blocks -gt 0 && dd ibs=1024 obs=1024 count=$blocks ; \
          test $bytes  -gt 0 && dd ibs=1 obs=1024 count=$bytes ; } 2> /dev/null
    }

Edit: this is apparently packaged with Makeself, and various sources report issues with rust-coreutils. For example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-coreutils/+bu...
