Bug#1104784: Fails to work with PATH=/bin:$PATH

[Simon Josefsson]

Package: gradle
Version: 4.4.1-22

Hi!  Gradle doesn't like being invoked with /bin before /usr/bin in
PATH, and fails like this:

root at af57908f5326:/# PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
root at af57908f5326:/# gradle
/bin/gradle: 23: cd: can't cd to /bin/../share/gradle/bin/..
openjdk version "21.0.7" 2025-04-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.7+6-Debian-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.7+6-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)
Error: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain
root at af57908f5326:/# echo $?
1
root at af57908f5326:/# 

It would be nice if the 'gradle' wrapper script handle this situation
properly, and that it finds /usr/share/gradle properly in this
situation.

This is causing FTBFS of bookworm packages that use gradle during the
package build like 'testng7', 'opentest4j', 'opentest4j-reporting',
'picocli', 'libspring-java', 'jayway-jsonpath', 'mongo-java-driver', and
maybe some others.
