Hi Kerstin,
thanks a lot for this bug report which is really appreciated as well as
the analysis of the error and the hint for a fix. I've not decided
whether we really should provide eba itself in /usr/bin or whether it
might be better to use wrapper scripts setting the PATH to
/usr/lib/staden/bin. The question is whether eba is a user oriented
application itself or just an internal helper.
Trusting your insight as a user I wonder what you might think about
the role of eba.
Kind regards
Andreas.
