Yes, putting "bin" in PATH is really bad practice, and as root it's positively dangerous. You should only ever have absolute directories in PATH. Best wishes, Julian
Bug#907380: tex-common: setting up of tex-common fails
Dear Norbert,
it turned out that dpkg-reconfigure has a problem with my PATH, i.e.
my path is prepended with:
PATH=.:bin:{{other dirs}}
when I modified it into PATH=.:{{other dirs}} dpkg had no more
problems.
My guess is that all this came out with the last version of bash,
upgraded just a few days ago.
In fact, if I try to run update-updmap from directory / as probably
dpkg is doing, with bin inside my path I obtain:
root@fulvio:/# echo $PATH
bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin
root@fulvio:/# update-updmap
Regenerating '/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN'... done.
/usr/sbin/update-updmap: line 235: bin/mkdir: No such file or directory
wow, lots of problems with bin in the path:
root@fulvio:/# cd /usr/sbin
root@fulvio:/usr/sbin# ls
bash: bin/ls: No such file or directory
ok, nothing to do with tex-common anyhow, sorry.
Fulvio

I don't think so: 0% which mkdir /bin/mkdir root@fulvio:/home/fc# update-updmap Regenerating '/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN'... done. Regenerating '/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST'... done. update-updmap has updated the following file(s): /var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN /var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST If you want to activate the changes in the above file(s), you should run updmap-sys or updmap. the log says bin/mkdir is missing, but line 235 recites: mkdir -p "$destdir" Last but not least, the problem exists on two different computers of mine, independently installed, though there is a large overlap of installed software.

tag 907380 + unreproducible moreinfo severity 907380 minor thanks > /usr/sbin/update-updmap: line 235: bin/mkdir: No such file or directory This line contains a call to mkdir -p ... if mkdir is not available, then you have probably messed up your PATH setting or have a destroyed system, because /bin/mkdir is provided by coreutils. I see that you have AppArmor enabled, maybe this interferes.
