Subject: [ptxdist] [PATCH] configure.ac: support GNU coreutils binaries with "gnu" prefix
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 16:07:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105150707.1018032-1-m.heidelberg@cab.de> (raw)
Ubuntu 25.10 switched most of the coreutils parts from GNU to uutils
implementation where the "--version" check fails during configure run:
checking for GNU cat... configure: error: could not find GNU cat
The GNU coreutils are still installed with a filename prefix,
e.g. /usr/bin/gnucat.
