The /usr/bin/arch command from coreutils is missing. This command is present in debian's coreutils and is added using --enable-install-program=arch. Can you add the command to the coreutils package?

"arch is not installed by default, so portable scripts should not rely on its existence."

stop relying on it.

What requires this command to exist? In other words, what is your justification for re-adding it to Arch? "Because Debian has it" is not a valid reason. As upstream mentions, 'uname -m' is equivalent.
