| Code: | alex@akadesk ~ $ echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/opt/bin
/usr/lib/llvm/17/bin
/usr/lib64/opencascade/bin
alex@akadesk ~ $ sudo -i
Password:
akadesk ~ # echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/opt/bin
/usr/lib/llvm/17/bin
/usr/lib64/opencascade/bin
akadesk ~ # login

/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/opt/bin
/usr/lib/llvm/17/bin
/usr/lib64/opencascade/bin |
As you can see, the root path is the same as the user path. This is a relatively fresh install of Gentoo, with the default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/systemd/merged-usr profile. Where should the root path come from? |

| What are you expecting to exist? If it is /sbin or /usr/sbin, those are gone in merged-usr (and symlinked for backwards compatibility) |

| I would expect either /sbin or /usr/sbin. Given that only /usr/local/sbin is in the path, any ebuild that uses usermod or setcap fails. |

/sbin and /usr/sbin have been moved to /usr/bin in merged-usr which also merges the former paths. All tools should exist in /usr/bin with /sbin and /usr/sbin being symlinks to /usr/bin.
If there issues with ebuilds and merge-usr, then show evidence or, ultimately, file a bug. |

| Alright, that would be my fault for not actually reading the news item for merged-usr, and manually moving things and making symlinks, but not not realizing that /sbin and /bin are also together. I've installed/run merge-usr and the problem is gone. |
