[Bug 1828947] [NEW] Absolute path missing in cron files

[Thibault Richard]

Public bug reported:


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
