Title:
  /etc/profile runs /etc/profile.d/*.sh twice

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: base-files

  This block of code occurs two times, so all the scripts get run two
  times:

  if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then
    for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
      if [ -r $i ]; then
        . $i
      fi
    done
    unset i
  fi

  juser at pc9e:/etc$ grep -n "if.*profile" /etc/profile
  4:if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then
  32:if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then

  Here is the whole thing:

  # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
  # and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

  if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then
    for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
      if [ -r $i ]; then
        . $i
      fi
    done
    unset i
  fi

  if [ "$PS1" ]; then
    if [ "$BASH" ]; then
      # The file bash.bashrc already sets the default PS1.
      # PS1='\h:\w\$ '
      if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bash.bashrc
      fi
    else
      if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
        PS1='# '
      else
        PS1='$ '
      fi
    fi
  fi

  # The default umask is now handled by pam_umask.
  # See pam_umask(8) and /etc/login.defs.

  if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then
    for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
      if [ -r $i ]; then
        . $i
      fi
    done
    unset i
  fi
