Description:

In file /etc/profiled./vte.sh line 59 the variable PROMPT_COMMAND is overwritten. This conflicts with packages such as autojump which also utilize the PROMPT_COMMAND variable. This bug is similar to another one reported with bash (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22161) and the suggestion is the same, instead of overwriting the variable as it is now:
PROMPT_COMMAND="__vte_prompt_command"
do something like:
PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:-:} ; __vte_prompt_command"

A workaround for affected autojump users is to source is to simply source /etc/profile.d/autojump.bash after sourcing /etc/profile in ~/.bashrc .

Additional info:
* vte3 version 0.34.7-1
