Package: ecryptfs-utils Version: 58-1 Severity: Important Hello,
Some of the utilities included in the ecryptfs-utils package assume that "/sbin" is in the PATH environment variable. This happens to be true in Ubuntu, which, I am guessing, is the upstream. However, because Debian does not include "/sbin" and "/usr/sbin" in PATH for non-root users by default, the shell-script utilities included in ecryptfs-utils package exit with errors stating that the relevant executable cannot be found. Here is a list of the shell scripts affected: src/utils/ecryptfs-mount-private src/utils/ecryptfs-setup-private src/utils/ecryptfs-umount-private As one can see by looking at the shell scripts, all of them contain references to "mount.ecryptfs_private" and "umount.ecryptfs_private" (which are installed in "/sbin") without including the "/sbin/" in the calling line. This problem affects users of the "Private" directory a lot as one is forced to include "/sbin" in the PATH before doing anything with ecryptfs. Attached is a patch which fixes this issue. Regards, - situert
