There's also a bug in the book where the root bash profile, and bashrc

it's ok for one to refer to the other, but creates an error when both
refer to each other.
The construct above is in ~/.bash_profile which is only called during
an initial login. It calls $HOME/.bashrc which in turn may call
/etc/bashrc. /etc/bashrc does not call any other script.
Note that the book never mentions root's startup scripts.
You customized a script and made a mistake.
