Package: dpkg
Version: 1.19.0.5+b1
After updating from stable to testing I receive the following error messages
when I use aptitude to install packages:
# aptitude safe-upgrade;
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin
Exporting the PATH before running the same command fix the issue: export
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
The same happens for full-upgrade, install, etc ...

Right, a valid and sane PATH is expected to be set. The possible
fallback PATH does not contain the required paths, and those are
system specific anyway.

Sure, you just need to have a proper PATH defined. Thus closing.
Thanks,
