** Package changed: ubuntu => debianutils (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

  In Ubuntu 12.04, enter the command 'which cd'. It prints nothing. Same
  with whatis and whereis:
  
  $ whatis cd
  cd: nothing appropriate.
  $ whereis cd
  cd:
  $ which cd
  
  Lame. It should print that cd is a bash builtin, or a function or alias
  or whatever.
+ 
+ Update:
+ This thread suggests using 'type -P' instead:
+ 
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/10525/how-to-use-which-on-an-aliased-command
+ 
+ While that is a solution, I don't think we should be satisfied with
+ "which sucks, use something else instead"
