Hello. Path of some utilities in coreutils-6.7-r1 changed from /usr/bin to /bin and vice versa. This cause some scripts became broken as they relied on the full path to executable. The question is: does there exist best practice on how to avoid this problem in future? Should we set some default PATH in scripts or should we call "command -p program"? Or as this is mainly problem for scripts that work in cron we should suggest users to set PATH in crontab? Or may be we should fix coreutils to create all possible symlinks?
TIA, -- Peter.
