Debian 11 AMD At the end of my weekly UPGRADE session using synaptic, the system hung. I restarted using the hardware RESET button. The system booted and found a number of orphaned nodes.
When I started synaptic a message was displayed that I needed to run dpkg --configure -a. When I ran that command, the following message
is displayed: root@penelope:/home/rlh# dpkg --configure -a dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin Running dpkg again gives the same result. Should I continue to run the system, or do I need to reinstall? RLH
