I am using the opa() function documented in the user's guide. In addition to
putting all the appropriate paths for the specified OpenPKG directory tree
at the front of the PATH variable, it selectively removed /usr/bin and /bin
from the middle of my PATH and appended them to the end, along with /sbin
and /usr/sbin.
I am wondering why this was done. In my case, I had /usr/ucb after /usr/bin
and /bin, but after running opa, now /usr/ucb came first. This caused the UC
Berkeley version of tr to be used in some scripts and it went into an
infinite loop.
Is there a compelling reason for moving /usr/bin and /bin to the end of the
PATH? This seems dangerous since opa cannot really understand the purpose of
the other paths that make up PATH.
Thanks,
Dennis
