Arch Linux

works for me

Is there any configuration file that lists all possible inputrcs? Or does ~/.inputrc have to be included in /etc/inputrc? Maybe an update overwrote something?

no. we had it sourcing the ~/.inputrc but that behavior was wrong and is described here:  FS#21729  .

default it should be read.

Do you still have the INPUTRC variable set? If it's set to /etc/inputrc, then your ~/.inputrc will not be processed. By default INPUTRC should not be set. This has been fixed in some filesystem package update, possibly this has not been changed on your system due to .pacnew files.

That seems to be it. env shows "INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc". The problem must have been caused by some package because ~/.inputrc has been read until recently. Where can I unset it permanently?

what does grep -r INPUTRC /etc returns?

update your /etc/profile from the .pacnew file

what version of filesystem to you have? i believe you are ignoring the filesystem package and /etc/profile has not been updated to the latest.

get rid of INPUTRC from /etc/profile


or what Allan said

core/filesystem 2010.10-1

I upadeted from .pacnew but didn't restart yet.

Why was I assigned to this bug and what am I supposed to do here? Looks like Dominik /etc/profile is just not up-to-date. Can we close this as "not a bug"?

I think the question is: How did the "INPUTRC" get in my profile? I didn't change it and it clearly hasn't been there a couple of weeks ago.

It was there in an old filesystem package (for years...). I believe there was a workaround to source your ~/.inputrc file even though that was set but that has been removed too, hence you seeing this now.

You are responsible for merging changes from .pacnew files on your system. Do that and this "bug" is fixed.

I didn't know the thing with the removed workaround. → Close.
