Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debianutils
I just compiled mplayer from source and installed it in /usr/local/bin
and noticed that which reports the wrong path to the program that's run.
I also had the packaged version of mplayer installed in /usr/bin. For
clarity, I've replaced /usr/bin/mplayer with a script that simply does
"echo foo". Just after compiling, I get this:
$ mplayer whycanti.asf
foo
$ which mplayer
/usr/local/bin/mplayer
$ /usr/local/bin/mplayer whycanti.asf
(video plays)
If I open a new terminal, I get the correct and expected behaviour: that
"mplayer whycanti.asf" runs /usr/local/bin/mplayer and plays the video.
