Can anybody running 9.1 confirm the following? sysvinit-2.85-20 shipped with 9.1 has a bug setting HOME environment variable. If you run the command "tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/1/environ" as root, it reports: OME=/ TERM=linux vga=0x317 splash=silent Note missing H in HOME. Possible impact is on apcupsd package. Has anybody reported this to SUSE feedback? If not, I will do that. Thanks, -Kastus

Funny ! I tried your command and I got ME instead of OME. I do not know if this is a bug or what is the meaning of this curious thing. My system works without any troubles.
Possible impact is on apcupsd package.

Did you report it yet? I think I have the solution. If you wait a few minutes I think I can give you a patch to go with your error report

I filed the bug report yesterday, unfortunately, without any proposed solution.

Patch looks good to me, I only have no idea how I can attach it to existing bug report. I hope somebody from SuSE reads the list... Thank you very much Anders! Regards, -Kastus
