chzdev can't find modprobe

Did this issue just start happening with 18.04?

Looks to me that it's unfortunately not limited to bionic and affects xenial (and artful), too.

Problem already existed on Ubuntu 16.04:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
# chzdev zfcp --type datarouter=0 dbflevel=5
sh: 1: /usr/sbin/modprobe: not found
zfcp device type configure failed
Error: Command failed (exit code 127): /usr/sbin/modprobe -r zfcp

Unfortunately it is hardcoded, and there is inconsistent use of modprobe. Let me propose a patch upstream for this issue.

I don't believe there any kernel team actions for this bug report.
