Details

Installed arch from miniinst-cd yesterday and noticed that after pacman -Syu and pacman -Sy firefox i don't have /opt/mozilla/bin in my $PATH. After adding it to /etc/profile i still have no effect.

Even after lots of reboots:

[stalwart@angel ~]$ cat /etc/profile | grep PATH
export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin"
export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man"
[stalwart@angel ~]$ echo $PATH
:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/ucb

klapmuetz on IRC said that is default .bashrc bug

[stalwart@angel ~]$ cat .bashrc
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias l='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '


I added only second line - "l" alias, rest is default
This task depends upon

I think it is something in your profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile) that breaks these things.

/opt/mozilla/bin is included in your path by /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh from the mozilla-common package.
