    Hi,
    I'm trying out a debian based distro for someone and am getting the error

    init-2.05a# apt-get upgrade
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    13 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Need to get 0B/7078kB of archives. After unpacking 513kB will be used.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
    Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Cwd.pm line
    28.
    dpkg: dpkg - error: PATH is not set.

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

    Now I'm not 100% sure where I should set this path as my shell does have
    PATH set

    init-2.05a# echo $PATH
    /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

    Is there something under /etc/apt I have to set?

    Rus
