Bug#951708: buildd.debian.org: "which" command doesn't find /sbin/ssdisk causing script failure
I was trying to run attached script makeHDD, and it failed saying
/sbin/sfdisk was not found. I ran the "which" command from the command
line and it returned no result. I went to /sbin and found sfdisk is
there. I also found blockdev in /sbin but the "which" command did not
find it. So the "which" command, which is in the script, appears not to
work for /sbin. Here's the script line:
# check that sfdisk is available, exit if not
sfdiskpath=`which sfdisk 2> /dev/null`
if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
echo "Required file sfdisk (typically /sbin/sfdisk) not found on
the system...exiting"
echo
exit 1
fi
