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 -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) _______________________________________________ Adduser-devel mailing list Adduser-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/adduser-devel
