Actually, the renew command should be available on all Debathena systems
-- the debathena-bash-config package provides it for users not using
the Athena dotfiles.
The problem here is likely that changes to shell aliases only take effect
when you start a new shell, and so the shells you had already existing
when you installed Debathena don't have the renew command. Can you
confirm that the "renew" command works on your machine if you start a new
shell?
(you may not need to start a new one because your shells from yesterday
have likely all exited, but it should definitely work if you start a new
shell by running "bash".)
