My first guess is that you may have done "su" which results in you
not having /sbin in your path. So you need to execute it as
/sbin/fdisk, or "su -", or become root by some other means.

This has been the case since the release of Debian 10 (buster).

If it's not that, please state Debian version, how you became root,
and

$ ls -la /sbin/fdisk

Thanks,
Andy
