Title:
  mkfs with -t option on btrfs fails on wily

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  How to reproduce:

  As root:

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=1024
  # mkfs -t btrfs -f test.img
  mkfs: failed to execute mkfs.btrfs: No such file or directory

  Does it exist?

  # which mkfs.btrfs
  /bin/mkfs.btrfs

  Yes!

  stracing mkfs shows why it fails:

  # strace -f mkfs -t btrfs -f test.img

  What? the path is /bin\n/mkfs.btrfs?  That is clearly why it is wrong.   Hypothesis is that it is picking up the "\n" from the end of the $PATH env string.  Add a dummy path at the end and it works!

  PATH=$PATH:/bin/dummy
  root at lenovo:~# mkfs -t btrfs -f test.img
  btrfs-progs v4.0
  See http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for more information.

  Turning ON incompat feature 'extref': increased hardlink limit per file to 65536
  Turning ON incompat feature 'skinny-metadata': reduced-size metadata extent refs
  ERROR: device scan failed 'test.img' - Block device required
  fs created label (null) on test.img
  	nodesize 16384 leafsize 16384 sectorsize 4096 size 1.00GiB

  Can this be fixed as it's screwing up a lot of regression tests we're
  doing with btrfs
