[Bug 1968007] [NEW] $HOME/.local/bin not added to PATH env variable

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Although the path $HOME/.local/bin exists, it is not added to the path
environment variable in Ubuntu 22.04. Re-logging or rebooting does not
fix the problem.

Manually running
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi
works as expected. The aboth lines ARE included in the .profile script.

I know that there were already some issued with the mentioned path in
previous versions of Ubuntu, however, until now installing some program
with pip install --user and re-logging always fixed the issue.

I'm running Ubuntu jammy in a VirtualBox (Version 6.1.32 r149290), but I
don't think this is of any relevance.
