We have codepaths with and without initrd, which results in different environment that systemd starts up with.
In bionic, initramfs-tools sets PATH to PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin In later releases, initramfs-tools sets PATH to PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin And systemd can come up without initrd (lxd) in which case PATH is not set at all, and internally systemd uses the built-in compiled PATH. The snapd environment generator has been fixed to handle the case of empty or unset PATH. But it only appends the snapd path, meaning that it doesn't inject /usr/local into the PATH. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771858 Title: /snap/bin not in default PATH for units, snapd should ship system- environment-generators to inject /snap/bin into $PATH To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1771858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
