If bash is executed within an environment where PATH is not set, it uses the DEFAULT_PATH_VALUE compiled into bash to set PATH. In nixpkgs we set this to /no-such-path by default. This makes sense in a nixpkgs/NixOS environment since paths like /bin or /usr/bin should not be used. However, when bash is used inside an FHS environment, this produces results that differ from distributions which follow the FHS standard. Before this change: $ steam-run env -i /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH' /no-such-path After this change: $ steam-run env -i /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. |
