~/.profile does contain these lines

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

but I am pretty sure that I did not add them. I just booted into a live Trisquel ISO and ~/.profile contains the same lines, and the output of "echo $PATH" includes /home/trisquel/bin and /home/trisquel/.local/bin

Did you perhaps upgrade to Trisquel 8 from Trisquel 7? Maybe the default ~/.profile only contains these lines in Trisquel 8.

In any case, it seems I should not assume that everyone has these directories in their path.
