update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Title:
  ubuntu-drivers-common fails when no PATH environment variable is
  passed

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Eoan:

Bug description:
  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.
