Huh? Just add /usr/sbin to your PATH.
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
$ traceroute
Version 1.4a12
Usage: traceroute [-dFInrvx] [-g gateway] [-i iface] [-f first_ttl]
[-m max_ttl] [ -p port] [-q nqueries] [-s src_addr] [-t tos]
[-w waittime] [-z pausemsecs] host [packetlen]

Although Jonathan is correct in pointing out that you can modify the search
path, this is not really a valid response...
Traceroute is heavily used by many people and therefore I don't think its
reasonable to place it somewhere in the file system that a typical user does
not have within their $PATH
Bug time?
