`eselect dotnet set X` does not set env variable `DOTNET_ROOT`. When DOTNET_ROOT is not set, `dotnet tools` complains about missing a runtime Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eselect dotnet set X 2. dotnet tool update -g microsoft.sqlpackage 3. sqlpackage Actual Results: You must install .NET to run this application. App: /home/user/.dotnet/tools/sqlpackage Architecture: x64 App host version: 7.0.11 .NET location: Not found Learn about runtime installation: https://aka.ms/dotnet/app-launch-failed Download the .NET runtime: https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=gentoo.2.14-x64&apphost_version=7.0.11 Expected Results: SqlPackage: Command-line tool for creating and deploying SQL Server databases and DACPAC packages.

The day after the introduction of app-eselect/eselect-dotnet, I had no idea on how to use the dotnet tools anymore, but we came up with a few tricks. `dotnet-bin-6.0 exec ~/.dotnet/tools/.store/microsoft.sqlpackage/162.0.52/microsoft.sqlpackage/162.0.52/tools/net6.0/any/sqlpackage.dll` and `DOTNET_ROOT=/opt/dotnet-sdk-bin-6.0 sqlpackage` From what I understood, it is the intended behaviour that eselect-dotnet does not set DOTNET_ROOT, but I wish it did, and I can't come up with a scenario where this will break something.
