fam setup

I upgraded by system via -Syu and now my startup script produces an error about not being able to find /usr/bin/fam. This was not a problem before the upgrade. Any thoughts?

Re: fam setup

I ran into this problem also.  Editing /etc/rc.d/fam and changing instances of /usr/bin/fam to /usr/sbin/fam solved it.  This seems like a small bug the package maintainer needs to fix.

Re: fam setup

There was a bug report for the first release but a second release still has wrong path. I filled a new bug report:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1935
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1941

and BTW the path is /usr/sbin/famd (famd not fam)

EDIT: and for the future I made symlinks in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin as fam and famd - now I'm safe... :-)
