Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/skel/.bash_profile
/etc/skel/.bash_profile currently contains code to add ~/bin to the user's
PATH if it exists. Please consider adding similar code for ~/lib and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It should look something like this:
if [ -d ~/lib ] ; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:}"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi
Note that LD_LIBRARY_PATH may not exist already (and on a normal system, most
likely won't). We must avoid leaving a trailing colon, because an empty
component in LD_LIBRARY_PATH would cause the dynamic linker to look in the
current directory, a security risk. ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:} provides a colon
only if LD_LIBRARY_PATH exists and has a non-empty value.
