It should include /usr/sbin and /sbin. > You might want to modify /etc/profile.lcl for a permanent change. The thing is /usr/local/man is now a system file, not a directory, appareantly. However, deleting this file was one step to fix it. I had to run su first, then export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin and then it worked. > I've not that much experience with UAC systems currently. So your help > would be appreciated. I reinstalled the SUA SDK and the SuToRoot option is described to be necessary for UAC, else root can't be impersonated. I guess my problem was due to this, I had to execute the shell as administrator per rightclick and then run su to be the real root. Quite confusing, but I guess this is the only way to get it to work. I've experienced something else now (after the install succeeded, apt-get update and upgrade -f -V both don't do anything now as supposed), some packages simply deny the install. I experienced this with x11-common. It gave me really weird errors (I deleted the logs now, but it was around this way) -t is not found -w is not found 80 is not found dpkg: error processing x11-common (--unpack): [ manual install/unpack with dpkg failed too ] subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 3 -t is not found Get news, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
