Package: util-linux Version: 2.25.2-2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
"whereis something" outputs something: This output contains no (new) information, so it is more informative to have it empty. Empty output is what (a user of) the philosophy of Unix-like operating systems expect. It also simplifies pipes and other kinds of postprocessing (empty output is shorter than any non-empty one). # Reference Mike Gancarz The Unix Philosophy Digital Press. 1995.
