In short: Xavier reproduced my issue in both Mint 19 and Ubuntu 18.04
virtual machines. His analysis show that the environment module code
stays on track and there is nothing that he can do to amend the code
regarding initialisation via the sourcing of /etc/profile.d/-scripts.
The derailment occurs after the initialisation of the program at the end
of, in my case, lightdm-session which finishes like so (I quote Xavier):
"Even though /usr/bin/lightdm-session is a #!/bin/bash script, it ends
its execution by launching:
/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/im-launch cinnamon-session-cinnamon
So ssh-agent launches /usr/bin/im-launch, which in turns launches
/usr/bin/cinnamon-session-cinnamon. Both are #!/bin/sh scripts.
So at that point, from what I understand, if /bin/sh points to
/bin/dash, the defined shell functions are lost (including the 'module'
shell function)."
When reading that I think: If variables are defined at initialization,
which are needed later on, why not simply turn them from pure shell
variables to environment variables by export'ing them? That would be a
change of the environment-modules code which ought to be doable.
