bug in the suite on Mandriva

[hajma]

Hi,
on Mandriva (2008.1 at least) the command urpmi is inside /usr/sbin, which is not in the default path of non-root user

So to run the tests as non-root you need to modify the command to include full path inside
share/phoronix-test-suite/pts/distro-scripts/install-mandrivalinux-packages.sh

Hmm I did testing on Mandriva 2008.1 and it worked for me, however I do have /sbin and /usr/sbin in my PATH (I don't remember editing it, but that doesn't mean I haven't).

The solution in any case is actually simpler than writing the whole path to urpmi, rather just start su with "-" to indicate a login shell.

I should point out that this will not prevent you running phoronix-test-suite, it will only prevent you installing any test dependencies automatically.

Fixed in git, thanks.
