Dear Maintainer,

When calling "ant" through "/bin/ant" instead of "/usr/bin/ant" it fails
with "/bin/ant: 1: cd: can't cd to /bin/../share/ant/bin/..". This also
happens when "/bin" is in $PATH before "/usr/bin".

Hi Jochen,

This looks like a duplicate of bug #914748 [1] and is addressed by the
patch [2].  (I tested on a system with usrmerge installed to be sure.)
However, the patch hasn't been backported to stable.

Cheers,
tony
