Details

Description:


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

source /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh

Solution:

I have no idea why there is a 'append_path' reference in that sourcefile, but it doesnt exist anywhere.

please rechange it to something like "PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/site_perl", so we can finally get rid of these errors while opening shells and stuff.
This task depends upon

It surely does exist, as your perl PATH should be setup via sourcing /etc/profile which has append_path defined. What version of filesystem do you have installed?

[jelle@natrium][~]%grep -r append_path /etc/profile*
/etc/profile:append_path () {
/etc/profile:append_path '/usr/local/sbin'
/etc/profile:append_path '/usr/local/bin'
/etc/profile:append_path '/usr/bin'
/etc/profile:unset -f append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:[ -d /usr/bin/site_perl ] && append_path '/usr/bin/site_perl'
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:[ -d /usr/bin/vendor_perl ] && append_path '/usr/bin/vendor_perl'
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:[ -d /usr/bin/core_perl ] && append_path '/usr/bin/core_perl'

oh my,

so I guess the solution here was "sudo mv /etc/profile.pacnew /etc/profile"

Thanks again, pacman was a bit too careful with not overwriting this file I guess.
