Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.144
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/pdebuild
I noticed recently that my pbuilders stopped using ccache for some
reason.
It seems, after investigation, that su -p changed its behaviour
recently, and doesn't preserve the PATH environment variable anymore.
I don't know if it should be reported as a bug in su, or if the new
behaviour is intended, but the result is still that pbuilder loses the
PATH environment variable. Note that i haven't checked if it actually works
with an older login package.
namakemono:/home/mh# export PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:${PATH}
namakemono:/home/mh# echo 'echo $PATH' | su -p
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
namakemono:/home/mh# echo 'echo $PATH' | su -p mh
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
Interestingly, using su -c instead of the method used by pbuilder, with
the pipe, works perfectly:
namakemono:/home/mh# su -p -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
namakemono:/home/mh# su -p mh -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
