Re: [Geany-Users] proper upgrade technique

My plan was to wait until 1.38 is released and then re-install Geany with GTK3. It would be a big distraction for me as I have a good working Geany at the moment and am busy with projects. For the record I have double checked my paths and they are the debian defaults:

The best I can do is to report that several Debian users have come across this kind of problem. For example, someone asked: "Why is it so bad to have /usr/sbin in PATH?" The answer given in the forums was "Because sbin contains programs and scripts only executable by root". Debian used to
