Package: udev
Version: 0.124-2
Severity: normal
Somewhere between udev 0.114-2 and 0.124-2, the PATH setting in
hotplug.functions was changed from
PATH='/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin'
to
PATH='/sbin:/bin'
This causes problems for other packages using the functions in this file,
e.g., ntpdate has been getting a few complaints lately like #490225.
Basically, we are doing
#!/bin/sh
set -e
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
if [ -r /lib/udev/hotplug.functions ]; then
. /lib/udev/hotplug.functions
wait_for_file /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
fi
.... do more work using programs in /usr/bin ...
Maybe hotplug.functions isn't actually intended to be used by other packages,
but you once advised me to use it in this instance. I can try to use
something else.
Otherwise, perhaps the path shouldn't be overwritten but preprended to?
if [ -z "$PATH"]; then # unlikely?
PATH='/sbin:/bin'
else
PATH='/sbin:/bin':$PATH
fi
