Most coreutils command are provided in /usr/bin as symlinks to /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils.
/usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils contains symlinks to /usr/bin/coreutils (provided by rust-coreutils). "coreutils --list" lists the supported commands. The following commands are listed by `coreutils --list` but do not appear as hard links in usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils : b3sum hostname kill more uptime Conversely, /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/relpath exists as a hardlink to /usr/bin/coreutils, but neither gnu-coreutils nor rust-coreutils supports a "relpath" command. (There's a "relpath" command in the fp- tuils, Free Pascal utilities, package). Suggestion: The contents of the /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils directory should exactly match the set of commands supported by rust-coreutils, as listed by `coreutils --list`. That would, among other things, correct this problem by creating the target of the /usr/bin/b3sum symlink. Of course not all commands from /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils need to be provided as symlinks under /usr/bin. Some such commands, for various reasons, are implemented via other packages, most commonly GNU coreutils. (I presume some thought has been given to *which* commands should be provided by GNU coreutils, though I wonder why the system uses gnu-coreutils true and rust-coreutils for false.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2127231 Title: /usr/bin/b3sum is a dangling symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils-from/+bug/2127231/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
