Public bug reported:
Before upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
/etc/profile as follow
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=some_path
And it worked fine on Intrepid. After upgrading to Jaunty, this setting
takes no effect any more. If I open a terminal and type in
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
it will show a blank path. But if I add the following statement to
/etc/profile
export TEST_PATH=some_path
then the TEST_PATH variable will be correctly set. So it seems that the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting in /etc/profile is in fact read and executed by
the system, but the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is unset somewhere else
later. Besides, I also tried to add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting directly
into /etc/gdm/Xsession. And after logging in, I still got a blank value
of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
