  • I already reinstalled coreutils but that made no difference. It's pretty weird. /usr/bin/env is a symbolic link with a relative path to it's target ../../bin/env. So that should be /bin/env which also exists. So I don't understand why that symbolic link doesn't work. I replaced the target so it points to /bin/env with an absolute path and that seems to have worked. Commented Jan 27, 2016 at 11:15
  • If /bin was a symbolic link to /usr/bin on conorgriffin's system, then /usr/bin/env and /bin/env would be the same file. Commented Jan 27, 2016 at 22:10
