Your feedback will aid us getting this 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-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B.

[Test Case] * $ env -u PATH /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH' And check that matching pairs in PATH, have /sbin variant leading /bin variant. [Regression Potential] * Ubuntu does not ship duplicate binries, with different behaviour between /sbin and /bin, thus all binaries will continue to be found in all locations. Also PATH is normally already set in the environment, and this change only affects the fallback path when bash is executed without any environment, i.e. booting with 'init=/bin/bash' [Other Info] * Original bug report detailing inconsistent paths between various shells. --- $ env -u PATH /bin/sh -c 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin $ env -u PATH /bin/dash -c 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin $ systemd-run --unit test-env env # ... and check journal for PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin $ env -u PATH /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. $ env -u PATH /bin/busybox sh -c 'echo $PATH' /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin $ grep 'export PATH=' -r initramfs-tools-0.131ubuntu10/ initramfs-tools-0.131ubuntu10/mkinitramfs:export PATH='/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' initramfs-tools-0.131ubuntu10/init:export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin dracut.sh has DRACUT_PATH=${DRACUT_PATH:-/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin} exported as PATH dracut-047+31/modules.d/99shutdown/shutdown.sh:export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin $ cat /etc/environment PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" apt & dpkg => should probably initiate /usr/local-less PATH Imho the rest should probably be harmonised to: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin === From a duplicate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1614080 : $ for i in 12.04 12.10 13.04 13.10 14.04 14.10 15.04 15.10 16.04; do echo $i; docker run -it --rm ubuntu:$i bash -c "unset PATH; /bin/bash -c 'echo \$PATH'"; done 12.04 /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin 12.10 /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin 13.04 /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin 13.10 /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin 14.04 /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. 14.10 /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. 15.04 /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. 15.10 /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. 16.04 /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.
