It was reported [1] and documented in the wiki [2]. zprofile sources /etc/profile, which replaces your $PATH ignoring already existing settings. What I did was modify /etc/profile to include the value of PATH in the newly created variable: PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31873 [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Zsh#Configuration_files -- Ivan Sichmann Freitas GNU/Linux user #509059 SDF MetaArpa Member http://isf.sdf.org/about.html
