Ah: that’s probably related to this feature mentioned in http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/NEWS.23.2 :
*** The new eshell built-in commands `su' and `sudo' support Tramp. Thus, they change `default-directory' to reflect the new user id, and let commands run under that user's permissions. This works even when `default-directory' is already remote. Calling the external commands is possible via `*su' or `*sudo', respectively. The path that it uses is controlled by the tramp-remote-path variable; see http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Remote-Programs . Its default value is '(tramp-default-remote-path "/usr/sbin" "/usr/local/bin" "/local/bin" "/local/freeware/bin" "/local/gnu/bin" "/usr/freeware/bin" "/usr/pkg/bin" "/usr/contrib/bin") where tramp-default-remote-path is `getconf PATH` = /bin:/usr/bin. So /sbin is missing. I suspect you can work around this either by changing your ‘apti’ alias to use the real sudo (*sudo), or by adding /sbin or 'tramp-own-remote- path to tramp-remote-path. -- [FFe] Please merge emacs23 23.2+1-4 (main) from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
