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.
