Bug 682810 – sys-apps/openrc: a 1-liner under /etc/local.d/ gives "no $HOME found in environment."

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: CONFIRMED ---

[Description Toralf Förster 2019-04-07 10:33:19 UTC]

(not sure if this is an eix issue are PAM or base or ....)

This 1-liner works fine when running from the command line (as root):

$ cat /etc/local.d/sync.start 
#!/bin/bash

eix-sync &>/tmp/sync.log


But after reboot I do found in /tmp/sync.log:

$ cat /tmp/sync.log 
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.
no $HOME found in environment.

I have no clue what this script is or where it comes from, so please explicitly state the package name.

This is just a reproducer of a longer script, the (only) interesting fact is that "eix-sync" is called

Please include the full package name in the summary line, then assign the bug correctly.
