Public bug reported: I couldn't find a package that provides /etc/environment using "dpkg --search environment"
Applies to updated hardy as of 20.01.2008 uname-a: Linux rune-laptop 2.6.24-4-generic #1 SMP Mon Jan 14 17:30:39 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux When executing terminal commands in konsole, I get: Command 'iwconfig' is available in '/sbin/iwconfig' The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative priviledges associated with your user account. bash: iwconfig: command not found file /etc/environment contains: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" It seems like the PATH environment variable from /etc/environment is not used.
