[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1026846: login: PATH set to ENV_SUPATH when logging in as a regular user

[Andrea Pappacoda]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.13+dfsg1-1
Followup-For: Bug #1026846

It seems that being part of the `sudo` group isn't causing the issue. I've
created a temporary user, logged into my DE with it and observed that PATH was
set to the expected value.

One interesting thing I've noticed is that if I log into my computer with a
text-only session (on e.g. tty3), PATH is set to the correct value.

As this seems now relevant, I'm running the latest version of GNOME available
in Testing; it's a fairly minimal install. gnome-core is not installed, but
I've manually installed pretty much everything apart from the software store
and a couple of things I do not need; here's what's not present:

    $ apt depends gnome-core | grep Depends | tr ' ' '\n' | grep '[[:alpha:]]'
| grep -vE '\)|:' | tr ',' ' ' | xargs apt -qq list | grep -v installed | cut
-d / -f 1 | tr '\n' ' '

extra gnome-user-docs gnome-user-share gstreamer1.0-packagekit libatk-adaptor
