That's because Tcsh is broken. It builds the command name cache when it starts up, and won't notice new commands unless the user does `rehash'. It's not a problem for Bash. Bash finds new commands without problems, but it can have problems if a command is moved to a new location. If I were in an advocacy group, I'd say the only problem here is making Tcsh available. :-) I think we can deal with this by adding a sentence to a suitable location in the dpkg manual page. -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
