openSeaChest .deb package misses export PATH variable

[walterav1984]

The openSeaChest V23.12 64bit .deb package installs fine on both Ubuntu 23.04 and Debian 12. However after install OpenSeaChest commands nor manual cannot be found nor used directly in shell from neither distro's until a specific path variable is exported or whole global path is passed:

export PATH=/usr/bin/openSeaChest:$PATH

https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest/pull/94#issuecomment-1478103832

Compared to earlier pull request the location of the binaries & manual have changed from /opt/ to /urs/bin/.

Currently openSeaChest is officially test packaged by Debian itself and uses /usr/bin/ directly without a additional subfolder openSeaChest for all its binaries.

For lowering confusion it may be better to use a /opt/ or some other local bin for this out of tree github created deb package with a correct export path?

I will look into this. I think this was setup prior to openSeaChest being available directly through debian's package manager.

@walterav1984 so far nobody asked for it in Debian 12 (official backport), but it should be no problem, if someone does, and officially this should be done by BTS (debian bug tracker system), but i also accept requests on IRC (you'll figure how to find me)

meanwhile i uploaded openseachest for debian 12, it should appear shortly at https://ftp-master.debian.org/backports-new.html

@walterav1984 do you think it would make sense to close this issue?
