As you know there cannot be guarantees on the timeliness of volunteer response, but surely this would be pretty high priority (and easy) to review/apply. > And the more interesting one: > How do I correct the issue for my existing users, given that even if I > correct the code and reconfigure, the .bash_profile file in their HOME > is gonna stay the same ? > Maybe I should force everybody to use guix home ? Maybe ‘.bash_profile’ should never have contained that line in the first place. But anyway, you could either run ‘sed’ on all the ‘.bash_profile’ files of users (not great), or let them know, or just let go since AFAIK it doesn’t hurt to have /run/setuid-programs in $PATH.
