Thanks for this ingenious solution; there are still a couple of things to iron
out though: for some reason the command substitution above produces a shorter
list of files than what should be in /bin (I'm trying to figure out why); and
when I try to run it I get this error from apt-get:
E: Couldn't configure pre-depend coreutils for debianutils, probably a
dependency cycle.
Both of those packages seem to be properly installed.
Thanks for the replies, I'll keep fiddling and get back.
