Package: bash Version: 4.4.18-3.1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream It should be summarized in the following excerpt: 0% bash [fc@fulvio ~]$ echo $PATH .:bin:/home/fc/bin:/home/fc/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin [fc@fulvio ~]$ cd / [fc@fulvio /]$ ls backup bin boot dev etc home initrd.img initrd.img.old lib lib32 lib64 lost+found media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv store sys tmp usr var vmlinuz vmlinuz.old [fc@fulvio /]$ cd /usr/bin/ [fc@fulvio bin]$ ls bash: bin/ls: No such file or directory [fc@fulvio bin]$
After visiting / and calling ls, bash thinks that ls is in bin/ls, the same with any other command. This does not happen with . or any other relative directory, only with bin.
