[Bug 1595558] Re: sudo doesn't have /snap/bin in PATH

[Brian Murray]

Hello Kyle, or anyone else affected,

Accepted sudo into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1.3 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ SRU Justification ]
  Snap may contain sysadmin tools as well. They are currently hard to invoke
  because /snap/bin is not in the PATH when sudo is used because the default
  secure_path of sudoers does not have it.

  [ SRU Test Case ]
  1. sudo snap install hello-world
  2. sudo hello-world
  3. verify that this fails with "command not found"
  4. install sudo from xenial-proposed
  5. verify that sudo hello-world now works

  [ Regression Potential ]
  - may trigger conffile prompts on upgrade

  [Original report]
  $ nextcloud.occ
  # prints output

  $ sudo nextcloud.occ
  sudo: nextcloud.occ: command not found

  I need to do `sudo /snap/bin/nextcloud.occ` if I want it to run.

  $ sudo env | grep PATH
  PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
