# traceroute

# which traceroute

# ll /usr/bin/traceroute
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 10 03:31 /usr/bin/traceroute ->

This is a broken link.
But:
# update-alternatives --list traceroute
/usr/bin/inetutils-traceroute
I have previously installed the traceroute package but removed this as
inetutils-traceroute is more reliable.
