Additionally I'd like to mention that pbuilder doesn't "set" (as in hard-code) $PATH somewhere; it recommends a default in /etc/pbuilderrc which can be changed there or set in ~/.pbuilderrc. So this seems more like a question for the user config. Addmittedly, it might make sense to change the default in /etc/pbuilderrc but ... > > > In any case, policy currently has: > > > > > > 10.10.

I agree here as well, and as long as we don't have a canonical definition of "$PATH for package builds" I think this bug is worth fixing [0], but it's not serious IMO. Cheers, gregor [0] e.g. by setting PATH to "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" as proposed by mirabilos earlier) -- .''`.
