Hi folks, I'm planning to have apt set PATH to a sane value for running dpkg, so that maintainer scripts are executed in a sanitized environment. That value will be:
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin The effect: (1) There is no /usr/local, which prevents breakage from custom perl or python installation (2) /snap/bin is not included either. This means that packages migrating to snaps will have to provide compatibility links (scripts?) in /usr - IIRC, lxd already does so, I'm not sure about other libraries. Together, this ensures that deb packages only talk to deb packages.
