Title:
please invert shell prompt and profile.d sections in /etc/profile
Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “base-files” package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: base-files
In its current form, /etc/profile sources the content of
/etc/profile.d before setting a default shell prompt.
This is a very bad idea, as it will always override whatever prompt is
set by packages that insert files in /etc/profile.d e.g. meta-packages
produced for a specific site.
The cure is simple: invert the sections in question in /etc/profile
so as to allow /etc/profile.d to be sourced *after* the default prompt
has been set.
