Su is gone

I just upgraded glibc, gcc, and all that jazz (Arch 64), and now the 'su' command is no longer:

[skottish@localhost ~]$ su
bash: su: command not found

whereis su
su: /usr/man/man1/su.1.gz

[skottish@localhost ~]$ echo $PATH
/opt/gimp-2.3/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
/opt/bin:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/java/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/opt/qt/bin

Re: Su is gone

Another user as the same problem. Looks like a package problem.

File a bug report.

Re: Su is gone

Solved. Coreutils on Arch64 was ill.
