[Bug 1640514] Re: /snap/bin is not added to the PATH when using zsh

[Johannes Choo]

This still affects 19.10 eoan.

I hope a bug administrator can update the status to reflect that.

The push by vogt https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/5390/files
unfortunately does not work since by environment.d folder looks like
this:

-rw-r--r--   1 root root  106 Oct 30 20:17 990-snapd.conf
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   16 Feb  6 22:45 99-environment.conf -> /etc/environment

Notably, 99-envorinment.conf is executed after 990-snapd.conf since it
is lexically later, and after 990-snapd.conf writes

PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin

we have 99-environment.conf overwriting

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

it should be noted that 99-environment.conf is provided by the systemd
package. I'll also raise a bug there about the naming of
99-environment.conf .

Bug description:
  --- Environment ---
  Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 (dev)
  zsh
  snapd 2.16

  --- Description ---
  zsh does not seem to load the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=88457 ).
  As a consequence, /snap/bin is not added to PATH, and running snaps from terminal (without snap run) does not work

  --- How to reproduce ---
  1) Install zsh
  2) try running apps provided by snaps from the shell, without using snap run
