Bug 116232 – /etc/profile spits out errors in zsh if /etc/profile.d doesnt exist

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) 2005-12-20 21:38:43 UTC]

/etc/profile.d does not exist, yet the /etc/profile script in the past few revisions of baselayout try to source it.  The attached patch prevents the error message if it does not exist.

the double check is pointless, added just a -d check to svn, thanks

actually proposed patch is bogus

how the hell are you getting errors ?  that code is fine and the -r check will prevent any attempts to source non-existant files

# Default environment
if [[ -f /etc/profile ]] ; then
   source /etc/profile
fi

That is what I have in my .zshrc

Not sure what is causing it - but when I login, i get

/etc/profile:61: no matches found: /etc/profile.d/*.sh

well it's a good thing you included details :P

Marking invalid as zsh should not source /etc/profile but rather /etc/zprofile.
