[gousern]

Steps to reproduce

1. docker pull ubuntu:18.04 (also tried in 14.04, 16.04, 18.04)
2. docker run -it ubuntu:18.04 /bin/bash
3. apt-get install git
4. install asdf in this container
5. run asdf plugin list

Expected behavior

# asdf plugin list                                                                    
docker-slim
golang
julia
nodejs
python

Actual behavior

# asdf plugin list 
/home/user/.asdf/lib/commands/command-plugin-list: line 46: column: command not found

Environment

OS: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 & Ubuntu {14.04, 16.04, 18.04}

asdf version: v0.7.6-6207e42

This issue started from v0.76 since the following new feature using column.

Improve output format of asdf plugin list all
Long plugin names were causing problems with how we used printf. Now we use the column command to properly render output.

@vic https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/pull/604 added this new dependency to the tool. Are we tracking these dependencies anywhere? Are we able to remove this additional dep or implement our own simple column formatting?

We could have a tiny wrapper that fallbacks to what we used previous to column where it's not available.

I'd say lets keep it simple and not use column if it's not available on operating systems like Ubuntu. Can we not use printf for this instead?

I also think our list of dependencies in the documentation contains some things asdf core doesn't actually use. I am going to determine which dependencies are not used by core and remove them from the docs.

I've updated asdf to v0.7.8-4a3e3d6 and tested in ubuntu:16.04 without seeing this issue again. I believe it has resolved properly, So I will close this ticket.

(base) z@d90c728c85ec:~$ asdf version
v0.7.8-4a3e3d6
(base) z@d90c728c85ec:~$ asdf plugin list   
Oohes nooes ~! No plugins installed

I don't believe we reverted using column, so would be interested as to how this disappeared. Though, having said this, no one else has raised or 👍 the issue so perhaps it was a phantom issue.

Well, you are right. Seeing this issue again. Let me reopen this ticket.
