** Description changed:
When the .pam_environment file of an user is created for the first time
- the format will be wrong:
+ the format will be wrong, if the default shell is switched from dash to

Because of a missing command parameter in the script
/usr/share/language-tools/save-to-pam-env the tabulators will not be
generated but insert as normal characters. Therefore the pam_environment
file will not work.
- The error is in the function save_to_pam_env(), there is an -e missing
- at the echo command:
+ The problematic step is in the function save_to_pam_env(), there is a -e
+ missing at the echo command for using with bash:
save_to_pam_env() {
- var=$1; value=$2
- if [ "$( grep -E "^$var(\s+DEFAULT|=)" .pam_environment )" ]; then
- sed -r -i "s/^$var(\s+DEFAULT|=).*/$var\tDEFAULT=$value/"
.pam_environment

}
But it must be
- echo -e "$var\tDEFAULT=$value" >> .pam_environment
+ echo -e "$var\tDEFAULT=$value" >> .pam_environment
- With this fix the syntax of the pam_environment is correct and will be
- working.
+ With this modification the syntax of the pam_environment is correct and

- I see this error in the packages for jammy and noble.
+ I see this behaviour in the packages for jammy and noble.

+ Is it possible to fix the usage of the shell?
