Many scripts I have rely on /bin/arch - so I see this as a regression. Also, we don't yet have coreutils >=6.9 I can obviously write a /bin/arch script which calls uname -m, but I would suggest that we need to ship /bin/arch in util-linux until its shipped in coreutils -- /bin/arch missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
