Exactly this is done in %{l_prefix}/etc/rc, line 89:
| PATH="@l_prefix@/lib/openpkg:$PATH"
Hmmm... but you're now already the second guy who encountered this. I
think the problem is that rc.mysql runs the cronjob under the restricted
user and for this it performs a "su -" which in turn resets the
environment. We recently switched to "su -" from just "su" for other
reasons (I cannot remember what it was, but there was a good reason for
using a login shell). Hmmm... as a result, all cronjobs not run under
root are broken. MySQL is just an example of this problem.
I've now added a little workaround for this subtle problem to the rc
command starting with openpkg-20030202-20030202. Just try it out.
