No, I didn't say that, there are no particular required directory
names, just that PATH needs to include whatever directories contain
all the standard utilities ... getconf() returns that path.
I used those names just as an example.
Ah, that is clear then.
On Ubuntu 22.04 `getconf path' returns /bin:/usr/bin
and these are symlinked.
Then that's an issue to take up with Debian/Ubuntu, right? If they're
symlinked by the distro, then getconf PATH should only return one of them.
