[LUG] Debian apt-get upgrade and cron

I had the bright idea of letting cron manage the updates:
apt-get update works fine.
apt-get upgrade -y generates an error each time:

dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

How can I get cron to use the same environment?
(Works fine when I su and run from bash)
