Looks like a bug in util-linux, it should imho search the full PATH. Let me divert the bug there, to check if util-linux maintainers in Debian are open to set --enable-fs-paths-default / --enable-fs-paths-extra to include /bin. > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 8.0 > APT prefers stable-updates > APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Looking at above, are you using unstable/testing packages on a stable system?
