It seems to do what it is configured to do.

What do you want it to do instead?

One possibility it to change that location regex, which is currently
"everything", to instead be only what is wanted.

Another possibility is to move this location above the "regex everything"
one, so that most things that start with /bin/ will use this instead of
the other.
