| puff@redbitter:~$ | |
| After this point, trying to install or remove anything with apt gets the same error message. | |
| I finally worked around this by running a root shell, editing PATH to include /sbin, and running the desired apt command. | |
| However, that doesn't fix normal operation. | |
| I didn't do an apt remove or install immediately beforehand, so it's possible this problem happened before I ran ruby gems and is only showing up now. | |
