Instead, coreutils.mo files are into /usr/share/locale-langpack/*/LC_MESSAGES/:

ricardo@kadath:~$ locate -e coreutils.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo
ricardo@kadath:~$

So, /usr/share/locale/es/LC_TIME/coreutils.mo must point to /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo, and so on.
