Package: mfbin
Version: 2.71-3

During the configuration of mfbin, the postinst script complained
about a command not being found. A sample output is given below. I am
using a Debian 0.93R6, with the 1.2.13 kernel, and libc 4.6.27 as
distributed. Clearly, this bug depends on what I have installed. It
looks to me like mfmake* should be in the mfbin package. Otherwise,
mfbin is not marked as requiring the package that they are in.

$ dpkg --configure mfbin
Setting up mfbin ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mfbin.postinst: mfmakemfbase: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mfbin.postinst: mfmakecmmfbase: command not found
dpkg: error processing mfbin (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mfbin

Aaaargh. Sorry. /sbin and /usr/sbin were missing from PATH. My
mistake. I guess I just had an off day. :)
