[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The configuration /etc/iptotal/iptotal.cfg embeds the path to the "date"
command, which may vary when built on a usrmerge vs. a non-usrmerge
systems.

  /etc/iptotal/iptotal.cfg

  DATECMD=/bin/date
  DATECMD=/usr/bin/date


Patch attached which fixes this in debian/rules.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] debian/rules: Set DATECMD from dh_auto_install.

The path to "date" is embedded in the binaries, which may be /bin/date
or /usr/bin/date depending on if the running system is a usrmerge
system or not. Consistently use /bin/date as this is the most
compatible path.
