Description gentoobug 2007-01-08 10:06:33 UTC

Sandbox 1.2.18.1 sources /etc/profile, which is completely braindead, as profile is for _interactive_ shells, i.e. i have "fortune" in there, which breaks e.g. paludis which parses the subshell output and gets confused by the fortune.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put 'fortune all -a' in your profile
2. Enjoy that you get a nice fortune on every _interactive_ shell 
3. Run 'paludis -i world'

Actual Results:  
Paludis fails because it tries to open the dir '[text of the fortune]/usr/libexec/paludis'

Expected Results:  
Don't source profile and/or source bashrc instead.

Solution: Remove/comment the "source /etc/profile" line and/or replace it by a source of bashrc.
