Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

After installing imv on debian Bookwork, the binary is not saved in
/usr/bin but can instead only be found in /usr/libexec/imv/imv

This makes using imv on the command line impossible, most noteable when
using terminal file manager like ranger

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Running: imv testimage.png

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The application was not found

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

imv should be installed in /usr/bin to be found in $PATH

Quote /usr/share/doc/imv/README.Debian:
| Starting from upstream version 4.0.0 imv ships two binaries that
| handle Wayland and X11 natively: imv-wayland and imv-x11. To allow
| seamless usage to users upstream provides a /usr/bin/imv wrapper that
| checks whether a Wayland compositor is available before running the
| appropriate binary.

| The Debian package does not ship the wrapper script to avoid a file
| name clash with the renameutils package.

Invoking either imv-wayland or imv-x11 should work perfectly fine on the
commandline.

This sound like a normal or wishlist issue, not a grave error.  Reducing
severity accordingly.

Hi

     You may add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/libexec/imv

If you don't install renameutils package in your system, you may run
this imv now.

As renameutils package already ship /usr/bin/imv command before,
so the imv package must to avoid a file name clash with the renameutils
package.


Regards,
