[packagekit] PATH missing in backends

[Thomas Wood]

Hi,

Does anyone know why the PATH environment variable might be unavailable
to a PackageKit backend?

Unfortunately libipkg tries to run 'strdup (getenv ("PATH"))', which
causes a segfault because getenv returns NULL.

Obviously there are several ways to work around this, but I just
wondered why PATH would be missing in the first place.

Regards,

Thomas
