I'm running Debian/testing, and see that about half the contents of /lib was changed when I updated in mid-September (file dates are a month earlier, but ctimes show me when the files got there). I'd expect environment-variable tinkering to be done in libc. > If i login onto the console, I have my $HOME "/home/michelle" AND > $PATH "/home/michelle/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin" > which are set by my ~/.bash_profile generally I use tcsh (and set my path in .cshrc). Aside from (a few years ago) noticing that shared libraries in /usr/local/lib wouldn't get loaded nicely (because of the environment-variable trimming), I haven't seen any recent changes that would add variables to be trimmed. A quick check (now that I'm home) with xterm -e sh or SHELL=/bin/sh xterm doesn't show a loss of variables. So perhaps that's not the problem. I'm not sure what is. > Please can you check it out with the package Maintainer ? > I am not the only person with this problem...
