upgrade to buster - system command not found in current path
upgrade to buster - system command not found in current path
Are system files being moved into /usr/bin in stretch - buster?
I've been having to use full path for commands in /sbin and /usr/sbin with sid for a couple of months.
I ask becasue, I just upgraded an old i386 install to buster
then
I ran # update-grub
I got error command not found.
Further, both update-grub and update-grub2 had to be editied to find the command they link to. done
that worked ok
then
os-prober didn't get called
so I get only one entry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg

It's not a big problem for me personally, so if this is a non issue for release I can deal with adding the old path manually.

Re: upgrade to buster - sys calls not found in current path
How are you obtaining a root shell?
I would use
Debian's old shortcut that adds `-` automatically no longer works, there have been several threads about this.
I would use
Code: Select all

EDIT: well, perhaps. I don't follow the Debian mailing lists (for shame!) so I don't know if this will be ready for the buster freeze.

Re: upgrade to buster - sys calls not found in current path
What are your calling "system files" ?llivv wrote:Are system files being moved into /usr/bin in stretch - buster?
Also, how it your post related to the syscalls mentioned in the subject ?
It means that these commands are located in /sbin and /usr/sbin, so why are you asking if system files are being moved to /usr/bin ?llivv wrote:I've been having to use full path for commands in /sbin and /usr/sbin with sid for a couple of months.
As expected. update-gurb does not exist. Try update-grub instead.llivv wrote:I ran # update-gurb

What shortcut are you talking about ? $PATH is now different with and without '-'.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Debian's old shortcut that adds `-` automatically no longer works

Is that the only difference with the new change? Thanks for the information, I only run stable so I wasn't aware of the specifics.p.H wrote:What shortcut are you talking about ? $PATH is now different with and without '-'.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Debian's old shortcut that adds `-` automatically no longer works
I have always used `su -` to obtain a root shell in GNU/Linux and I was surprised to learn that `su` worked in Debian, tbh
Anyway, I think our idiomatic OP is describing the /usr merge, as explained in my wiki link.

Thanks H_o_a_S for the links.
I editied the OP's title and typo to reduce confusion.
4D696B65's post here:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=138771
worked in my situation as I was previously using either su and/or su -c'[command]'
both of which failed to find the path to /sbin and /usr/sbin files.
The last time I bootstraped a sid install a few months ago, it asked me if I wanted to include /sbin and /usr/sbin symlinks
It appeared that both those directories were/are being moved into /usr/bin
"as if /usr/bin diesn't have enough files in it already" LOL
Take from my post wharever you can use and thanks again for the help.

Re: upgrade to buster - system command not found in current
This is "/usr merge". You misunderstood. It means to merge the contents of /bin in /usr/bin, /lib* in /usr/lib* and /sbin in /usr/sbin and replace them with symlinks.llivv wrote:The last time I bootstraped a sid install a few months ago, it asked me if I wanted to include /sbin and /usr/sbin symlinksIt appeared that both those directories were/are being moved into /usr/bin
It does not move /sbin and /usr/sbin in /usr/bin nor is related to the change in the behavior of "su" regarding $PATH.
Re: upgrade to buster - system command not found in current
update-gub works again (pssssss) the stdout is a striking visual. wow
last time grubs terminal scroll changed that way I thought to myself - oh god help us.
/usr Merge - still misunderstood
su USER - still misunderstood too.

Re: upgrade to buster - system command not found in current
You typoed grub again. If you manage to do it twice in this thread alone and according to you, your command stopped working and then magically started working again, I fear most readers will make further conclusions from this.
