Is it the same for a fresh user account?
Is it the same for "root"?
Logging in from a VT as root resp. newly created user test I get
[root@oldrawhide]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
# -> chaos
Chaos? That output looks normal and has been like that for years.
Oh yeah sorry, true. (I had expected
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/root/bin).
But I wonder, why is /bin before /usr/bin here? It makes i.e.
AC_PATH_PROG fail miserably for many old-style autoconf scripts which
use this to determine the prefix. (Though agreed, you usually do not
compile things as root).
[test@oldrawhide]$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/test/.local/bin:/home/test/bin
# -> /bin:/usr/bin inverted, otherwise ok
My Rawhide is broken, so I cannot check whether this is reproducible
and specific to Rawhide (e.g. via the path munging in /etc/profile).
A little bit debugging output (even simply printing $PATH to a file)
in the bash config files might lead to something already.
On both the oldrawhide and newrawhide machines, adding echo $PATH >
/tmp/path as the first line in /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile, /bin is
before /usr/bin.
- add line to /etc/bashrc, cat /tmp/path gives
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
- add line to /etc/profile, cat /tmp/path gives
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
The odd thing I didn't notice before is that on a VT, also on the
newrawhide machine (as non-root user) I get
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin.
But from a GUI terminal, /bin and /usr/bin are in inverted order (i.e.
/usr/bin before /bin, as expected). Can anyone else reproduce this?
Thanks,
SAndro
