install-dependencies fails with 'sudo: apt-get: command not found' on self-hosted runner

[Jamesking56]

Description

When using install-dependencies: true on a self-hosted runner (Ubuntu 24.04), the action fails with sudo: apt-get: command not found during the dependency installation step, even though apt-get works fine in other workflow steps.

Environment

• Runner: Self-hosted Ubuntu 24.04
• Action version: v2.1.1 (commit 4f8e94349a351df0f048634f25fec36c3c91eded)
• Chrome version: stable

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use a self-hosted runner with Ubuntu 24.04
2. Configure the action with install-dependencies: true
3. Run the workflow

Observed Behaviour

The action's internal apt-get update succeeds, but the subsequent apt-get install call fails:

[command]/usr/bin/sudo apt-get update
Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble InRelease
...
[command]/usr/bin/sudo apt-get install --yes --no-install-recommends libasound2t64 ...
sudo: apt-get: command not found

Note that a direct sudo apt-get install xvfb -yqq step earlier in the same job succeeds without issue.

Expected Behaviour

The action should successfully install dependencies, or at minimum use the full path /usr/bin/apt-get to avoid PATH resolution issues under sudo.

Workaround

Set install-dependencies: false and manually install the required packages in a prior step:

- name: Install Chrome dependencies
  run: sudo apt-get install -yqq libasound2t64 libatk-bridge2.0-0t64 libatk1.0-0t64 libcairo2 libcups2t64 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libgbm1 libglib2.0-0t64 libnss3 libpango-1.0-0 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxkbcommon0 libxrandr2

- uses: browser-actions/setup-chrome@v2
  with:
    install-chromedriver: true
    install-dependencies: false

Analysis

The issue appears to be that sudo on the self-hosted runner has a secure_path that differs from the user's PATH. When the action invokes apt-get without a full path, sudo cannot resolve it. Direct workflow steps appear to handle this differently (possibly using /usr/bin/apt-get implicitly).
