I'm trying to install a package on a system running a Debian Jessie-based
distribution called OSMC <https://osmc.tv/>.
This task (run with ansible_sudo == true):
- name: ensure Vim is installed
apt: name=vim state=present
causes this to happen:
TASK: [vim | ensure Vim is installed]
*****************************************
failed: [XXX] => {"failed": true}
stderr: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
stdout: Reading package lists...
...
dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and
/sbin
msg: '/usr/bin/apt-get -y -o "Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef" -o
"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold" install 'vim'' failed: E: Sub-process
/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
It seems that something is mangling the PATH before apt-get is called,
because if I SSH manually into this system:
$ which ldconfig start-stop-daemon
/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/start-stop-daemon
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/vc/bin
$ sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/vc/bin
the PATH is correct and I have no problem installing the package manually.
What can I do to improve this situation?
