No, Debian's path does not include /var/lib/*/bin - The default paths, set by /etc/profile, read: if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" else PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games" fi Requiring rubygems does not change it, even from within Ruby: $ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):002:0> system 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games => true So I think this bug does not bite us. -- Gunnar Wolf • gw...@gwolf.org • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
