Hi all,

for packaging lix I apparently need the coreutils binary. So I tried adding coreutils-single to the BuildRequires, as this contains the binary.

Why do you need the '/bin/coreutils' binary?

Because that is what upstream has in their meson configuration.

Why does the binary need to be visible in path if it's never to be called directly? Libexec would be the better place. Upstream putting it into /bin is not a good reason to put it there IMHO.
