Research direction

The body is empty, so nothing here says which crate declares itertools twice; start by running cargo tree -d (or cargo tree -i itertools) at the workspace root and checking the Cargo.toml files it points to, since coreutils keeps per-utility crates. Done means itertools resolves to a single version across the workspace and cargo build/cargo test still pass. Ask the maintainer which manifest they meant before editing, as the issue does not say.
