Bug description:
  Problem Description
  ==================================
  This error
  vpdupdate[22016]: src/helper_functions.cpp:103: The command "/usr/sbin/iprconfig" is not executable.
  keeps showing up in syslog

  it appears that vpdupdate has wrong path for iprconfig

  # uname -a

  I think below upstream commit will solve this issue. 

  commit 17f4c3c86be356f7d5914dfc79337d3cd1eabe50

      Add function to search command in standard path
      
      Different distros install commands in different location. One of the example
      is iprconfig. Redhat and suse installs it under /usr/sbin but ubuntu places
      this binary inside /sbin. Current lsvpd code always searches iprconfig binary
      inside /usr/sbin as this path is hard-coded and call gets failed in case
      binary is not present in that particular location.
