Had the same issue in Latest Stable Lucid, and comment #7 was the problem and fix.
PATH=~/bin:$PATH fails, but PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH works. Changed bug status to "confirmed" since a) I can confirm the behavior b) http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_28.html suggests this should behave otherwise c) the myriad scripts in /etc that prime tab-completion to behave in (imho: awful) context-sensitive ways are ubuntu specific. ** Changed in: debianutils (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- /usr/bin/which and /usr/bin/xargs do not find commands in $HOME/bin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
