Package: gparted
Version: 0.32.0-2
Severity: 3
Tags: gparted mate debian apt-get aptitude
I have Debian Buster running in a virtual machine where I installed
GParted using aptitude. During and after installation no error is shown.
GParted isn't registered in the command line (don't know the exact
terminolgy) so when I as root type the command "gparted" it says "bash:
/usr/bin/gparted: No such file or directory"
Also in Debian Jessie, GParted was available in MATE from the menu bar
(System > Administration > GParted) which is not the case now in Debian
Buster.
GParted is installed at /usr/sbin/gparted instead of /usr/bin/gparted.
It's my assumption that the APT packaging is not 100% correct. Other
programs I installed with aptitude in the current Debian version did not
have this issue.
My workaround is to create a symbolic link in the /usr/bin/ directory
after which I can properly execute GParted from the command line as
root. Thus:
ln -s /usr/sbin/gparted /usr/bin/gparted
