I just updated from baselayout 1.9.4-r6 to 1.11.12-r4 (which is now marked stable).In the new /etc/profile file /usr/bin takes precedence over /bin. (The same for sbin.) I have tar and star installed. star comes with a symlink /usr/bin/tar (to itself). So whenever I want to use tar now star is called instead (which has different command line options). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update to baselayout 1.11.12-r4 2. install star (and tar) 3. call tar the "usual" way (e.g. tar -cxf foo.tgz bar/ ) Actual Results: call the wrong programs (in this case: get an error message about wrong usage of (s)tar; took quite a while to find the cause ;) Expected Results: Maybe the following order would be better?: /usr/local/bin:/bin/:/usr/bin And the same for sbin. Or is this really the way it is supposed to work? (Change the star ebuild instaed?)
