Package: postgresql-client-common
Version: 75
Severity: important

Hello!

pg_wrapper deletes the PATH environment. Therefore the following psql
functions stop working:

 - Display of larger result sets or even help pages. This tries to use $PAGER.
 
 - "Edit query buffer" tries to invoke $EDITOR.
 
 - "\! command" tries to invoke a command.

All of these stop working. For example:

user=> show all;
sh: less: No such file or directory

Please note that setting EDITOR and PAGER to absolute paths does not
help completely, because they in turn rely on other programms.

Best Regards 
Andreas
