Package: python3-reportbug
Version: 7.5.1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Hi,
I got the message "bash: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found
" when I ran `dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config`. I ran this command as root.
I then ran `echo $PATH` and the following appeared
"/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games". I searched for
solution online and came to know that dpkg-reconfigure is in /usr/sbin. So I
added /usr/sbin in $PATH to .bashrc file. I rebooted the system and now `dpkg-
reconfigure fontconfig-config` works.
As the process described here worked, is this the right process or I missed
something?
Thanks.

... and now I'm _actually_ closing it, for the same reason - I managed
to fail to do so with my previous message.
