Package: firebird2.5-server-common
Version: 2.5.2.26540.ds4-15
Severity: important

I have just been upgrading an earlier Jessie system to the current version and 
get the following error messages during the upgrade:

Setting up firebird2.5-server-common (2.5.2.26540.ds4-15) ...
find: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which 
is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find.  Please remove the 
current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove "." or leading or trailing 
colons)
dpkg: error processing package firebird2.5-server-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

(further errors relate to dependencies)

I do indeed have "." in my PATH (note that the manpage for find lists other 
entries which should not appear in PATH as well as .).  
That may be insecure, but it should not prevent installations. In fact, if the 
installation uses -execdir, it should be defining a specific PATH it wants to 
use.

Redefining PATH as "/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" allows the installation to 
complete.
