Package: lynis
Version: 2.6.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Francisco,
* What led up to the situation?
Calling lynis as user (where /usr/games is in $PATH by default on
Debian).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Calling "lynis audit system" as unprivileged user (after fixing the
permissions bug reported in https://bugs.debian.org/939325).
* What was the outcome of this action?
A window with the game Pacman popped up when lynis started what it
believed to be ArchLinux's package manager "pacman":

2019-09-03 13:03:13 Performing test ID PKGS-7310 (Checking package list with
pacman)
2019-09-03 13:03:13 Result: Found pacman binary (/usr/games/pacman)
^^^^^^^^^^^
2019-09-03 13:03:13 Test: Querying 'pacman -Q' to get package list
2019-09-03 13:03:13 Output:
2019-09-03 13:03:13 --------
2019-09-03 13:13:58 Result: pacman binary available, but package list seems to
be empty
2019-09-03 13:13:58 Info: looks like the pacman binary is installed, but not
used for package installation
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Not looking for package managers in /usr/games/ and hence skipping of
that test, because pacman, the package manager is not installed (and not
packaged for Debian either).
This probably can be considered a debian-specific issue as well as an
upstream issue. Hence not tagging as "upstream" for now.
P.S.: Other Debian packages had the same issue in the past when looking
for ArchLinux's package manager, too. The discussion in
https://bugs.debian.org/752114 contains some discussion and arguments on
how this kind of issues can be fixed.
