I think below upstream commit will solve this issue.

    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.
