cron installed by default fails with “exec: fstrim-all: not found”
/etc/cron.weekly/fstrim: is installed by default (confirmed by https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/254840/92199)
Unfortunately for me it keeps generating
/etc/cron.weekly/fstrim:
/etc/cron.weekly/fstrim: 10: exec: fstrim-all: not found
run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim exited with return code 127
failures (delivered via local mails).
I have a SSD so I would prefer to avoid just deleting this task.
I found that fstrim-all used to be in util-linux package but I already have it installed (and anyway in xenial it is gone)

util-linux is already the newest version (2.27.1-6ubuntu3.6).
This tool fails not only in cron environment:
mateusz@grisznak:~$ fstrim-all
fstrim-all: command not found

How can I get regular fstrim working? Or maybe it is OK to delete this task despite that I have SSD?

Was this upgraded from a previous release? I don't havefstrim-allin the/etc/cron.weekly/fstrimfile on a 16.04 machine. Instead it containsfstrim --all || true.

There are no space before --all. Don't remove that cron job, its needed for ssd. You can even make it daily instead of weekly.

@Arronical Thanks! It was a fresh install rather than an upgrade, but maybe backup restore managed to override also this file. Can you turn it into the answer?

The /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim file on my 16.04 system contains the following:
#!/bin/sh
# trim all mounted file systems which support it
/sbin/fstrim --all || true
This specifies the absolute path to the fstrim binary and uses the --all option. It's not clear why the version you have differs, though it matches the file I found on a 14.04 installation.
