[SOLVED]append_path not found

cone_man · 2023-01-24 21:07:03

When trying to install a package from the aur, I get the following error message:

/etc/profile.d/jre.sh: line 3: append_path: command not found

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

The file /etc/profile contains

# /etc/profile

# Set our umask
umask 022

# Append "$1" to $PATH when not already in.
# This function API is accessible to scripts in /etc/profile.d
append_path () {
    case ":$PATH:" in
        *:"$1":*)
            ;;
        *)
            PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}$1"
    esac
}

# Append our default paths
append_path '/usr/local/sbin'
append_path '/usr/local/bin'
append_path '/usr/bin'

# Force PATH to be environment
export PATH

# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
	for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
		test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
	done
	unset profile
fi

# Unload our profile API functions
unset -f append_path

# Source global bash config, when interactive but not posix or sh mode
if test "$BASH" &&\
   test "$PS1" &&\
   test -z "$POSIXLY_CORRECT" &&\
   test "${0#-}" != sh &&\
   test -r /etc/bash.bashrc
then
	. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP

# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH

So I'm not sure why is not defined.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

In what context did that error appear? Post the complete command / output.

What package is this? There are a boatload of jre packages in the AUR, no one here is going to skim all of them looking for the broken PKGBUILD.

It sounds like something is sourcing the jre.sh in the wrong context (outside of /etc/profile) as this would result in the error you quoted.

EDIT: your /etc/profile is also quite outdated. Take care of your pacnew files. (edit2: unless of course that was a fairly random excerpt of the file rather than it's complete contents which seems more likely, though also more confusing).

It was just a portion of the file. (full file now)

The PKGBUILD does include a source command as I predicted which is just nonsensical in that context. Report it to the AUR maintainer. Just remove that line and see if it builds - if it doesn't, then replace the line with `export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin"`

Remove the lines on the file allowed the package to build.
Thank you
