mine agree
don't know where you got "setenv" for openSUSE/linux.  I seem to recall a
unix cmd.

Have you possibly ran a program in this environment that might have
changed the path?

If 'setenv' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the
package that contains it, like this:
    cnf setenv

16:36 wahoo:~ > cnf setenv
setenv: command not found
