Details

If not explicitly configured, the PATH will be set to a default of "/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" that is not suited for current archlinux.

This can either be fixed in the source code (`lxdm.c:1416`) or overwritten by explicit configuration:

[base]
## don't use lxdm default path, its bad for arch users
path=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

One problem that can be attributed to this error is https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55915: `gdbus-codegen` cannot locate it's modules if called via `/bin/gdbus-codegen` instead of `/usr/bin/gdbus-codegen`
This task depends upon

I think that nothing wrong with this PATH, so I don't want to modify the package. If a binary doesn't work from /bin, then it's a bug in that software.

However, you can ask upstream to replace the order of /bin and /usr/bin if you want here:
