It would be possible to have it pass the full path in argv[0], as the patch in https://bugs.gentoo.org/936041 suggests. It's arguably a bit silly and unnecessary for it to strip the directory part from argv[0]; shells don't do that, for example. Anyway, I've forwarded this to https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3717, since it doesn't look as though anyone had got around to reporting this upstream yet, and since it's not 100% clear to me what the correct fix should be although I have a couple of possible ideas. I've also written an autopkgtest for this, so once we fix it, it shouldn't come back in testing. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
