Hi Marco,

root@cg-sg:~# file /bin/cp
/bin/cp: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically 
linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, 
BuildID[sha1]=3a0bad79264ea6b37c1b8d4dd2b206b8001097dc, stripped

root@cg-sg:~# ls -l /bin/cp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 130504 Feb 22  2017 /bin/cp

The upgrade did kinda go badly and I did lose libcrypt.so.1 at one point 
earlier in the upgrade for some odd reason which meant perl wouldn't run (and 
that script wouldn't run either as it depended on perl) until I copied it back, 
so it potentially could be that /bin/cp is also an outdated binary.

Should I copy /bin/cp from another debian system and try again?

Thanks,

Weird. Is /bin/cp a script then? Where does it come from?
