There are several issues on the way to fullfil your expectation: 1/ /usb/bin/mail is the usual path 2/ /usr/bin/mail is handled through alternatives, which are not taken into account by packages.debian.org because to deep inside the packaging https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/mailutils/filelist 3/ mailtutils "provides" mailx, but this doesn't specify a path as such https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-virtual In the specific case of mailx, this is /usr/bin/mailx If you had to rephrase your need, would you tell that you are looking for a package that "provides" you the mail or mailx command ?
