Description Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-07-11 02:33:04 UTC 
The default PATH inside a cron "shell" is: "/usr/bin:/bin" but emaint is /usr/sbin/emaint so you get this message that "emaint: command not found"

The flaw is in pkgindex.py because it just calls "emaint --fix binhost" and relies on the PATH. As a general caution, please don't hardcode it such that it breaks in Gentoo Prefix. :)

Thanks.
