For background on my problem (and why I very much need to solve it), see http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=166506&p=855700#p855700
But the essence of the problem appears to be me@it ~ $ /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin bash: /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin: No such file or directory [127]me@it ~ $ lsalh /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 44K Mar 6 2012 /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin me@it ~ $ sudo /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin: No such file or directory me@it ~ $ groups me sudo staff lpadmin How is it possible that `ls` can list a file, but `bash` says "No such file"? Note that everything else seems to work on this box, which FWIW is me@it ~ $ uname -a Linux it 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux me@it ~ $ cat /etc/debian_version jessie/sid so it's not like the box is "just broken." FWIW, /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin is 32-bit, while the rest of the box is 64-bit. I don't see how that could cause *this* problem, but that's the only thing unusual about /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6.28/firefox-bin (of which I'm aware). desperately confused, Tom Roche <tom_ro...@pobox.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
