Hi,
the base-files package release 2.2-1 contains an error, which prevents
global setting environment vars of profile.d scripts.
The problem is in the line
/bin/find /etc/profile.d -iname '*.sh' -type f | while read f; do
the pipe seems to create a subshell, which limits the live time of the
environment vars of the profile.d scripts to the end of the done statement.
(see below)
# Run all of the profile.d scripts
# Note that these are supplied by separate packages
/bin/find /etc/profile.d -iname '*.sh' -type f | while read f; do
if [ -f "$f" ]; then
. "$f"
fi
done
##>> here no profile.d env vars set
Cheers
Ralf
