andreas@sirius:~$ whereis rcp
rcp: /usr/bin/rcp /usr/share/man/man1/rcp.1.gz
andreas@sirius:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/rcp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2004-07-23 12:43 /usr/bin/rcp
-> /etc/alternatives/rcp
andreas@sirius:~$ ll /etc/alternatives/rcp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2004-12-01 23:00 /etc/alternatives/rcp
-> /usr/bin/scp
Looks like you need to install a package with an rcp client and also run
update-alternatives to tell the system to use that client instead of
scp. See `man update-alternatives` for details.
