Setting up rpi-eeprom (13.3-1~xbian) ...

If I recall correctly, apt install runs the postinst scripts as root, but I presume with a different $PATH, which may explain why $(which vcgencmd) is returning ./vcgencmd instead of /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd during postinst.

I have not yet found where xbian is versioning these package builds, or if they're actually different from the mainline rpi-eeprom.

Hope this helps.

Problem detected. The reason is that when dpkg is called via apt, a different path is set and therefore the program vcgencmd is not found. Only the APT developers know why this was done. The path juggling has been bugging me since the beginning of Debian Buster.

Have just built a new package (13.4-1~xbian) with a fix for it
