Description:
I get this weird error after running pacman -Suy.

When logging in the shell prompts: "PKG_CONFIG_PATH: Undefined variable." and then stops reading the rest of my tcsh configuration. Leaving a boring standard shell.

I have tried creating a new user with standard tcsh configuration, same there. Tried to adding "setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/lib/pkgconfig" to both .tschrc and .login, no difference.

Additional info:
* extra/tcsh 6.15.01-2
Prompts on login: "PKG_CONFIG_PATH: Undefined variable."


Steps to reproduce:
Start tcsh (/usr/bin/tcsh)
This task depends upon

Added
echo setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/lib/pkgconfig > /etc/csh.env

The error comes from: /etc/profile.d/kde.csh in line #4:
setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Since PKG_CONFIG_PATH isn't set, :$PKG_CONFIG_PATH will result in an exit

Works now. Is this the right way to do it?

Try the following and let me know if it fixes it:
In /etc/profile.d/kde.csh, replace:

setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

by:

if ( ! $?PKG_CONFIG_PATH ) then
setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig
else
setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
endif

The /etc/profile.d/kde.csh file no longer exist since the update to KDE4. It seems that it was the cause of the problem. Can this bug be closed?
