Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debianutils
I'm a little bit at loss with this problem and don't know where to start
debugging it. My $PATH is
PATH='~/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games',
but neither 'which' nor 'xargs' find executable shell scripts in
$HOME/bin. However, the bash magically 'knows' about these commands and
can execute them. Bash-completion with <TAB> works for them as well. So
I suppose that both which and xargs are somehow broken. However, 'which'
is able to find commands in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin and /sbin. So this
is very strange, looks as if 'which' and 'xargs' ignore the current
$PATH.
I would appreciate all help with this.
Thanks.
