Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I was just looking at the list of bug reports filed against cron and
came across this bug.
Am I right in understanding that you're expecting /etc/crontab's PATH
setting to provide a default for the crontab you're then editing with
"crontab -e"?
/etc/crontab and the crontab listed by "crontab -l" are two separate
crontabs, and the PATH setting in /etc/crontab doesn't transfer across
to the crontab you can edit with "crontab -e" as root. Each crontab file
stands on its own. /etc/crontab does not provide defaults for any other
crontab. This is by design.
Setting this bug's status to Invalid, since you're expecting something
that is not supposed to happen. If I'm wrong in my understanding of your
report, or you disagree, please explain and change the bug status back
to New. Thanks!
** Changed in: cron (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
