I am having this problem:
jorge@debian:~$ emacs
emacs: could not resolve realpath of "emacs": No such file or directory
My tests run without issue
jorge@debian:~$ echo $PATH
/home/jorge/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
jorge@debian:~$ /usr/local/bin/emacs --version
