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.

But the way they delete chatrooms is off brand. If you want to incentivize people to chat in chat instead of in comments, make sure chat is actually usable. That means not deleting chatrooms after a few days!
Is it gated by reputation? If so, could you please post the full comments somewhere?
