Hi,
I just replaced my bash completion file with the git version and noticed
it tries to execute /bin/seq and fails because seq is located at
/usr/bin/seq. Since I could not find anything in coreutils' changelog
file I guess the path was wrong right from the start and should be
corrected.
The other thing I wonder about (still the same commit[1]) is why the
(slower) external echo command is preferred to bash's internal
implementation.
Thanks,
Cedric

No idea if these paths changed, but there are other tools which are in
/usr/bin and not in /bin :
expr,seq,sort,find
And in /bin we have sed,grep,ls
I am definite that none of the paths changed. I am to scared of
breaking stuff to alter the file locations from that historically.
However, this is not portable across distros. We should check which
locations are mandated by the FHS and have configure fill in the rest.
