When I boot in Linux i686 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 I get a number of error messages that state
that various environment variables exported from /var/lib/init.d/envcache are readonly
variables. The include BASH_VERSINFO, EUID, SHELLOPTS, PPID, and UID.
In addition when I logon as "root" or some other user i get several message preceeded by "-bash:" They are
-bash: BASH_VERSINFO: readonly variable
-bash: EUID: readonly variable
-bash: /etc/profile.env: line 46: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: /etc/profile.env: line 46: `export BASH_VERSION=''2.05b.0(1)-release'''
and the prompt indicate directory env.d although by running ls on sees it is really root.
The same messages occur without the one about EUID when a terminal window is opened after startx.
Line 46 of /etc/profile.env is what is given in the error message without the outermost ` '.
As near as I can tell everything works properly.
