Dwarf Fortress starting during apt-get upgrade

I honestly don't mind this, it makes sense. Comments aren't for extended discussion, so move them to the place that is, e.g. chat. But, it's really it's quite obnoxious when they subsequently delete the chatroom!

Internet Archive rescued the top comments[1], but you can't click the button to see all of them. Even so, there is some useful context here. User `dobey` points out:

> Setting $PATH for the non-root user would not affect the environment for root where the packages are being installed. It is more likely the binary was copied to a directory which is already in root's $PATH instead.

OP confirms this:

> Just one little side note - I did not edit $PATH, I just symlinked dwarf fortress to /usr/local/bin. Otherwise this seems correct. Well done and thanks much!

An open question for me is whether this was user error on the OP's part, or a fundamental flaw in the design of UNIX and/or apt.

StackOverflow seems to have been designed to maximally obnoxious in a lot of ways, so it's right on brand.

….why would /usr/local/bin be before /usr/bin in root’s PATH? That seems broken… unless df isn’t installed at all, but I find that hard to believe.
