Re: Updated base-files-4.0-8
The calls to locale and tzset in profile.d still are not fully qualified. I always thought fully qualified paths were appropriate for system wide scripts since one cannot depend on PATH being set up correctly. In any case, both with the previous release of base-files and this one, if you does something like C:\cygwin\bin\mintty -u - In a shortcut, the /bin isn't in PATH so the calls to locale and tzset fail. make those calls /bin/locale and /bin/tzset (fully qualified) fixes that problem and eliminates the need for PATH to be relied upon in system wide scripts. -- Harry G.
