Package: debianutils Version: 5.4-3 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/which While the advertised replacement for `which` has been in shells for ages, it is only in GNU Make 4.3 (released January 2020) that `command` can be used, for otherwise Make is trying to be smart and fails in surprising ways ([1] describes a RIOT incident caused by this).
Consequently, projects aiming for portability between Linux distributions have no good alternative to `which` until Make < 4.3 has been phased out of the major distributions. (For example, Ubuntu Feisty ships an old Make). In light of this, please reconsider the deprecation and removal schedule.
