Bug Description

Binary package hint: unison

It seems that with the package update the internal invokation of unison-2.13.16 call unison that is non longer avaible to start in bash... It not anymore a bash command...

It not appear to cause any problem when trying to replicate on a local basis... But when unison is use with ssh and rsh... The problem emerge...

By using command line it very easy to see that unison-2.13.16 is searching for unison and bash send : bash: unison:not a bash command...

It append when the authenfication is done after enter the passwd...

I am not sure but it look like the unison invokation still present in the code instead of unison-2.13.16

I solve this issue by symlinks :

ln -s /usr/bin/unison-2.13.16 /usr/bin/unison
ln -s /usr/bin/unison-2.13.16-gtk /usr/bin/unison-gtk

But this manipulation as to be done on both computer when unison is use with ssh...

Hope I right...

The problem seems to actually be that unison must be installed on both the local and remote computers. The error message is quite unhelpful though.
