openSUSE version, please?

Don’t reboot your machine, it would break it. You have to reinstall
“coreutils”.

If it is only the ‘rm’ binary which was removed, you can just download
the coreutils rpm and extract the rm binary.


/bin/rm  -> /usr/bin/rm
/usr/bin/rm

You can extract the binary, for instance, using ‘mc’ to open the rpm.

Please be precise.

What is your openSUSE version?

Did you remove /bin/rm and /usr/bin/rm and nothing more?

I wouldn’t go through the trouble to extract rm.

The following command should not only re-install rm but also make sure the other coreutils components are latest

zypper in -f coreutils
