Package: user-mode-linux
Version: 4.19-1um-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/linux.uml

linux.uml in a GNOME terminal gives these errors in new tabs:

There was an error creating the child process for this terminal
Failed to execute child process “port-helper” (No such file or directory)

The linux.uml binary references the wrong path for port-helper:

$ strings /usr/bin/linux.uml | grep port-helper
/usr/lib//uml/port-helper

$ dpkg -L uml-utilities | grep port-helper
/usr/lib64/uml/port-helper

Please fix this issue in Debian buster, it is an annoying bug.
