[Bug 890916] Re: Login shell not sourcing /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc

[Adam Conrad]

bash (4.3-7ubuntu3) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Revert the last change. Upload didn't mention any Ubuntu issues, and
    closing issues like lp: #890916 which complain that there are too many
    places to set aliases aren't solved by just adding another place to
    add these. Requires further discussion as also told before the upload.

Title:
  Login shell not sourcing /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  bash does not source /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc for login
  shells, ignoring some settings done within these files. Additionally
  aliases are set while sourcing /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc
  overwriting each other. Aliases shall be read at one place only from
  one source if possible. Not from /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh, from
  within /etc/profile and from ${HOME}/.bashrc there is to much
  posibility you'll change aliases overwritten by other parts while
  executing login leading to different command behaviour later on. This
  can be something really bad: assume one awaiting "rm" aliased to "rm
  -i" kicking of "rm -r *" assuming this set because he/she is used to
  it from xterm, but it isn't set this way login in from somewhere else
  via ssh or ssh+screen and having again a different behaviour logging
  in with xterm+byobu or ssh+byobu enabled!
