Fedora 25. sbt is installed and I have been using it, probably last time was a week ago. But today it is not found.

$ sbt
bash: sbt: command not found...
Install package 'sbt' to provide command 'sbt'? [N/y]

Tried a reinstall but dnf knows what I do

$ sudo dnf install sbt
[sudo] password for xxx: 
Last metadata expiration check: 0:31:12 ago on Thu Apr 27 19:39:34 2017.
Package sbt-0.13.15.2-2.noarch is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Checked for install location with which but no luck

$ which sbt
/usr/bin/which: no sbt in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/xxx/.local/bin:/home/xxx/bin)

I would guess the problem is in my $PATH however I have not altered it, although I have installed some packages

$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/xxx/.local/bin:/home/xxx/bin

Finally i did find a jar named sbt-launch.jar in /usr/share/sbt/bin/ but I don't think /usr/share has ever been part of my $PATH.

Recommendations? thx

fixed it by running

$dnf reinstall sbt

Out of curiosity I checked $PATH again afterwards and it was the same. So it was something else evidently.
