Bug 12411 – rc-envupdate.sh reverse-orders path variables

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-12-18 13:03:23 UTC]

It seems rc-envupdate.sh orders multiple-value variables, like PATH, in reverse order 
compared to env-update. This creates a problem after booting. 
Example: 
---- 
laptop qt # env-update 
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... 
laptop qt # grep KDEDIRS /etc/profile.env 
export KDEDIRS='/usr/kde/3.1:/usr/kde/3:/usr' 
laptop qt # rc-envupdate.sh 
laptop qt # grep KDEDIRS /etc/profile.env 
export KDEDIRS='/usr:/usr/kde/3:/usr/kde/3.1' 
----- 
I have baselayout-1.8.5.5, gawk-3.1.1-r1, latest version of everything else in ~x86 
profile.

Create a tarball of your /etc/env.d/ and attach please.
