Package: lightdm
Version: 1.26.0-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
lightdm doesn't honour the PATH environment variable, it's always set to
a hardcoded value.
# strings `which lightdm` | grep PATH
XDG_SEAT_PATH
XDG_SESSION_PATH
Running inside an X server requires Xephyr to be installed but it cannot be found. Please install it or update your PATH environment variable.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
GI_TYPELIB_PATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
Best Regards,
Manolo Díaz

Hi Manolo,
PATH is only set (to that default value) if it's not already set, see
https://sources.debian.org/src/lightdm/1.26.0-4/debian/patches/01_set-default-path.patch/
