Yes, if you want to continue working in this shell. But if I start my |
| 14 |
Gentoo update script from my unprivileged userid, it only depends on my |
| 15 |
own environment and on what "/etc/sudoers" allows through. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But your remark made me curious about what was really changed in the |
| 18 |
environment. So I started a privileged shell using my own environment |
| 19 |
and then executed |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
# env | sort > /tmp/env1 |
| 22 |
# . /etc/profile |
| 23 |
# env | sort > /tmp/env2 |
| 24 |
# diff -du /tmp/env* |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The trivial environment variable changes were for "LESS", "LS_COLORS" |
| 27 |
(which was added), "MANPATH", "PATH", and "PS1". However, the non-triv- |
| 28 |
ial environment variable change was: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
-LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 |
| 31 |
+LANG=en_GB.utf8 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
which sort of shocked me, because that effectively again unset the only |
| 34 |
variable setting that allowed building of package "/texlive-basic-2021": |

May this be some sort of bug in "glibc"? |

Utterly puzzled ... |
