Public bug reported:
vic@saucer:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 24.10
Release: 24.10
vic@saucer:~$ apt-cache policy grc
grc:
Installed: 1.13.1-1
Candidate: 1.13.1-1

Problem description:
If using bash shell, setting GRC_ALIASES (manually, in .bashrc, etc) is
always overridden by the setting in /etc/default/grc . This means you
can only turn it on/off globally.
This is the problematic section of /etc/profile.d/grc.sh :
---------------
# this will execute only if there is a line with
# GRC_ALIASES=true
# in /etc/default/grc or you export GRC_ALIASES=true prior to sourcing this
[ -f /etc/default/grc ] && . /etc/default/grc
[ x$GRC_ALIASES = xtrue ] || return 0
---------------
Because /etc/default/grc is always sourced, it overrides any personal
GRC_ALIASES setting.
Example trying to set up grc manually, and having it just reset to
false:
vic@saucer:~$ grep GRC_ALIASES /etc/default/grc
GRC_ALIASES=false
vic@saucer:~$ export GRC_ALIASES=true
vic@saucer:~$ echo $GRC_ALIASES
true
vic@saucer:~$ source /etc/profile.d/grc.sh
vic@saucer:~$ echo $GRC_ALIASES
false
This problem appears to come from upstream and is not Ubuntu-specific.
