I'm trying to upgrade a Sarge box to Etch and several "dpkg: `x' not found on PATH"-errors occured.
I followed the instructions in the release notes (http://www.nl.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/release-notes/ch- upgrading.en.html): I ran # aptitude upgrade # aptitude install initrd-tools # aptitude install libfam0 xlibmesa-glu When I ran the last command I noticed these errors: [...] Fetched 892kB in 2s (363kB/s) dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH. dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and / sbin. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover: dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH. dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and / sbin. [...] I checked and indeed, /sbin/ and /usr/sbin/ weren't in root's PATH variable. (I fixed that now) I suspected that these messages appeared in the previous commands too and indeed, with the upgrade of initrd-tools it had similar errors. For the 1st command I couldn't find the console output anymore but I fear the worst. What should I do? Thanks.
