Re: [Bug-wget] Wget 1.20.3 on Solaris

That is a terrible suggestion. Please don't do that or suggest it.
I'm sure Jeffrey here is capable of knowing what this is and what the
implications of such a binary are. 

However, this is a publicly archived mailing list. People will find this when
they search the web in the future (not necessarily related to the same issue)
and this will break their systems in very confusing ways.

Making a fake binary in /usr/bin is something that should be done _very_ _very_
carefully.
