[Bug 1828947] Re: Absolute path missing in cron files

[Colin Watson]

What does /etc/crontab say?  On my system it has:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Title:
  Absolute path missing in cron files

Status in man-db package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  On Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver) I had each day a reported issue 

  /etc/cron.daily/man-db:
  /etc/cron.daily/man-db: 32: /etc/cron.daily/man-db: start-stop-daemon: not found
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/man-db exited with return code 127

  I've solved it by simply adding the absolute path /sbin/start-stop-
  daemon

  Line 23 on /etc/cron.weekly/man-db
  Line 22 and 32 on /etc/cron.daily/man-db
