Note:
Here subfinder wasn’t installed with their go install command in the past, so pdtm doesn’t find it in the same folder.

$ whereis subfinder

subfinder: /usr/bin/subfinder

In this case the fix would be unistalling subfinder and using go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/subfinder/v2/cmd/subfinder@latest

$ sudo apt purge subfinder
$ whereis subfinder
