Package: debianutils
Version: 4.4+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The which(1) man page says: "It does not follow symbolic links". However
`which' does in fact:
$ ln -s /usr/bin link
$ export PATH=~/link:$PATH
$ which uptime
/home/bje/link/uptime
In a modern Linux system, not following symbolic links would be rather
undesiarable
behaviour. I don't have a strong view on whether the behaviour as implemented
is correct,
but the man page is inconsistent. Perhaps the man page just needs correcting?
