Hi, i guess it is not intentional that on a freshly installed Debian GNU/Hurd $ su Password: # apt-get install libacl1-dev fails with ... Get:2 http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer/mirror/ sid/main libacl1-dev hurd-i386 2.2.47-3 [78.1 kB] Fetched 119 kB in 0s (373 kB/s) dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable. dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable. dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable. Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) #
PATH looks like inherited from my normal user. # echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/thomas On the hosting Debian GNU/Linux amd64 i see $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/thomas $ su Password: # echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin The same i get if i login to Hurd at the kvm console without intermediate user "thomas". So what shell setup script is run on am64 but not on hurd-i386 when command su is performed ? It is not /etc/profile, where i can see the root PATH, but where i cannot cause any visible side effects by running su. (I edited /etc/profile and inserted the line echo Executing amd64 /etc/profile : $(/bin/date) >>/tmp/profile.log It gets not performed on su. ) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
