We can have it one way or the other, but not both ways. Not sure I agree with having nonexistent paths in PATH, but it's shouldn't technically break anything either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711254 Title: 16.04.3 deployments include non-existent directories in $PATH Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: New Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Noticed this while doing regression testing on 16.04.3, and a number of customers have asked with concerns as well during their testing. I don't know exactly when this started, but we just started noticing it with 16.04.3 (4.10) but $PATH by default now includes several directories that do not exist: ubuntu@above-ox:~$ find $(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:/ /g') -maxdepth 1 -type dfind: ‘/home/ubuntu/bin’: No such file or directory find: ‘/home/ubuntu/.local/bin’: No such file or directory /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/local/games find: ‘/snap/bin’: No such file or directory We noticed this because it was causing a resource job in the certification suite to suddenly start failing (the failure was not catastrophic, but it did appear to customers who were concerned. I've verified this on both s390x and amd64 16.04.3 deployments via MAAS 2.2.
