Ughh. What happened to /bin/echo?



It appears that /bin/echo is gone. In stable it was contained in
shellutils and shellutils was replaced by coreutils, which doesn't
include /bin/echo. I realize echo is a builtin in Bash, but my
Makefiles don't seem to realize this and are now completely
broken. Did echo move to a different package, hopefully? apt-cache
search doesn't pull up any obvious candidates, except coreutils and
it's definately not in there.

I'm running testing. coreutils 4.5.1-2

Something similar seems to have happened to /bin/cat and /usr/bin/tr
in what was textutils under stable. Anything on this?

Thanks,
Gary
