The attached patch fixes this by setting the shebang to /usr/bin/perl Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/system-tools- backends/+bug/199134/comments/4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2009-08-19T02:00:14+00:00 Milan Bouchet-Valat wrote: Not sure that's the perfect fix. What if we want to use a custom version of perl, say using jhbuild? Shouldn't 'env perl' return the default perl interpreter, and not some random one? Just trying to work things out.

But I don't think anybody will want to do that with the stb, so better prevent breaking them. Pushed as 2916c228e818dca562a963958f3f5db40d579018 (I've fixed a few more files that still used /usr/bin/env). Thanks for that patch!
