Bug#646285: busybox: $PATH handling is broken - breaks boot



Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.19.2-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

It seems $PATH handling has stopped working, breaking initramfs-tools making the system unbootable.
initramfs-tools dumps to a recovery console during boot as the shell cannot find its binaries.

(initramfs) echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
(initramfs) mount
/bin/sh: mount: not found
(initramfs) /bin/mount
setmntent: No such file or directory # this error is OK, mount is executed.

System broke when dist-upgrading from wheezy as of 2011-10-22 to sid on the same day, e.g. going
from busybox 1:1.18.5-1 to 1:1.19.2-1
