In Debian stable, "su" with no arguments changes PATH. It has done so for years. Decades, if I'm not mistaken. Here, watch: wooledg:~$ echo "$PATH" /home/wooledg/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games wooledg:~$ su Password: root@wooledg:/home/wooledg# echo "$PATH" /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin If testing/unstable has changed this behavior, then that's going to be a HUGE thing to adjust to. Has a bug been filed for it yet?
