That package does not contain examples/loadables. But there is a package 'bash-builtins' which doesn't contain 'rm' and 'cat' either. Opening a new bug report via 'reportbug' seems to trigger another Debian bug. You can see the bug entry at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=bash-builtins (#929702), but clicking on it gives "There is no record of Bug #929702". That makes me feel sick. Also, I opened a similar bug at Debian years ago - but it's not on the list of bash or bash-builtins any more. Seems like bugs become removed or are "lost" somehow sometimes. No idea what happened. Thanks for motivating me to create a (/another) bug for this issue. Regards, Tim
