The bug number and other database indices have been removed from the text below as I sometimes do. ---------- Forwarded message --------- Subject: [bug #] tries to execute directories name as commands instead of using shell PATH resulting failure with permission denied Follow-up Comment #, bug #(project ): Hi, I have part of a story to share, and I apologise that I am very confused and scared when I share it. I went through an experience of severe abuse where my devices were maliciously controlled to limit my freedom. When I see a "permission denied" error that has no apparent cause, this is very terrifying to me, and I experience flashbacks, and I do not know if I will be harmed if I continue to pursue my task. I would request that, even if EACCES is the correct error code, that the cases of it where it is not actually a permission error, be given a different error message that helps the user discover what is really going on. Even giving the full path of failing execution would help so much here. I would also request that some reference to my story be in the commit message, so people understand that respects people and does not support sustaining delusions of power nor helplessness. I expect my expression may be met with defensiveness or concerns. I am just taking the time to try to talk, when it is very very hard for me to do so. If I have upset you, I apologise. If my expression belongs at a dependent project such as , it would be kind if somebody could copy-paste it to them, because it is very very hard for me to reference this. Thank you for reading. _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah [1]https://savannah.gnu.org/ References 1. https://savannah.gnu.org/
