Looks like I found two bugs, #579211 and "does weired things if PATH is not set" which might be much older. Workaround for the latter is simple: "env - PATH=...", so feel to ignore this part of the bug report if you don't think lintian should work without PATH set.

Bash, dash and zsh behave similar without $PATH. I think this is the fallback path for bash: $ strings /bin/bash | grep sbin /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
