Hi,

coreutils doesn't have realpath on ubuntu 11.04. Without updating the
OS to the lastest version or compiling coreutils from the latest
release, it is there a simpler way to update coreutils? Thanks!

Actually, coreutils does have realpath, but Debian doesn't build it.
Instead, they've opted to use a different standalone version (that one
you referenced) that apparently has more functionality than the gnulib
one.

Of course, Peng already knows that:
