I don't see "grep" on that listing.

What are the "cp_old" files?

What do you get when you run:

Code:

ldd /bin/grep

egrep and fgrep are there... among the broken links. Meaning grep itself is not there at all.

grep is there - 7 lines down from the links.

Yes, grep is right between echo_old and mkdir_old.

It appears that you have a mayor issue with symlinks in general, since it is not only grep, but all those showing in red, plus some indication base on your first attachment, /usr/local/bin

At this time, with the given information, if I have to guess, I'll say someone broke it playing around renaming files from the coreutils package. echo, mkdir, cp has been renamed to `_old'. These are all coreutils files and guess what file is also part of coreutils? ln (/bin/ln is for symbolic links)
