Description R. Ekker 2004-04-01 08:40:54 UTC 
after emerge-ing firehol, when running "firehol helpme" for automatic detection of network configuration, I get the error

/usr/sbin/firehol: line 1: /usr/sbin/ip: No such file or directory

The program does produce a configuration file, but it is useless.

Simple workaround: make a symbolic link from /usr/sbin/ip to /sbin/ip. Better solution: make firehol know the correct path to the ip command.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge firehol
2. run "firehol helpme"


Actual Results:  
error message:

/usr/sbin/firehol: line 1: /usr/sbin/ip: No such file or directory

no network interfaces are detected

Expected Results:  
run /usr/ip and detect network interfaces.

emerge info output:

Comment 1 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-24 02:16:17 UTC 
Which Version of firehol are you using? What does "emerge -p firehol" report?
Comment 2 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-29 13:27:06 UTC 
I think that this bug is fixed with the latest Version 1.159. Please try to emerge this version with

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge firehol

and test if this fixes the problem.
Comment 3 Andreas Simon 2004-05-03 02:52:13 UTC 
The latest firehol version in portage contains the line

    -e 's|/sbin/ip|/usr/sbin/ip|' \

which is wrong. Gentoo installs ip under /sbin/ip, thus firehol makes the right assumption and the fix is obsolete.
Comment 4 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-18 11:44:58 UTC 
Should be fixed with the new Version 1.191, which is available in Portage.
