2019-12-02 10:08:19 Alberto Milone description ubuntu-drivers-common fails when no PATH environment variable is passed: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/52d04f39f8cbdb77d65ec57f19a5801284c1e2b0 While the reasons why the PATH variable is empty are unknown, the ubuntu-drivers tools should not fail, and we can assume that a minimal PATH (such as /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin) would apply to the system. SRU Request: [Impact] * ubuntu-drivers-common fails when no PATH environment variable is passed: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/52d04f39f8cbdb77d65ec57f19a5801284c1e2b0 * While the reasons why the PATH variable is empty are unknown, the ubuntu-drivers tools should be more robust and not fail, and we can expect a minimal PATH (such as /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin) to be available on the system. [Test Case] * Install ubuntu-drivers-common from the -proposed repository. * Call the ubuntu drivers tool passing the "devices" parameter: ubuntu-drivers devices * Call the ubuntu drivers tool passing the "devices" parameter and an empty PATH variable: PATH="" /usr/bin/ubuntu-drivers devices * Neither case should fail any more. [Regression Potential] * Low. Nothing really changes in the functioning if the PATH variable is not empty.
