Subject: adduser: deluser needs to set $PATH

Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 10:34:21 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.111
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch karmic

Hello,

In https://launchpad.net/bugs/458883 it was reported that deluser does
not set $PATH explicitly. This causes it to fail when being called
from a program which does not have (a correct, or empty) $PATH, such
as D-Bus activated backends (system-tools-backends). Since deluser
calls which and deluser, it needs a proper $PATH.

adduser already sets $PATH explicitly for this reason. The same should
be done in deluser.

Patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35261113/set-deluser-path.patch

Thanks for considering,

Martin
