#2881 Don't assume /bin -> /usr/bin symlink exists
Closed: fixed Opened by tjaalton.

Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

There are various places where a binary is called with a path that's not common between distros, like /usr/bin/ln which doesn't exist in Debian, or the other way like /bin/openssl while it's /usr/bin/openssl on Debian.

I compiled a list of all absolute paths to commands in bin and sbin. Some are bogus, e.g. /bin/tomcat-jni.jar, please ignore them.

Which paths do not work on Debian?

looks like the path prefix can be dropped from CMakeLists at least, maybe elsewhere too.

    Don't assume /bin -> /usr/bin symlink exists
    Be more consistent with hardcoding paths, and use paths that work on
    other distros too which don't have a /bin -> /usr/bin symlink.
