coreutils 9.4 changed its license from GPL3 to GPL3-or-later in https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/coreutils/-/commit/e21d41a4ceb9972ec0b83471e8caa62ef0a69b93

However, GPL3-or-later is not in /usr/share/licenses/common or /usr/share/licenses/spdx.

It should probably be "GPL-3.0-or-later", to match /usr/share/licenses/spdx/GPL-3.0-or-later.txt.

Upstream reference: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0-or-later.html

Oops -- I posted this too soon!

The title should be:

[coreutils] License GPL3-or-later is invalid, should probably be GPL-3.0-or-later
