incorrect PATH and LANG variables

[Rohit]

This is my first bug report so please consider contacting me if I've missed something. Thanks.
Installed version -- fluxbuntu-7.10-RC

The PATH environment variable in fluxbuntu as reported by "echo $PATH" in xterm is as follows:
./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

And the LANG environment variable as reported by "echo $LANG" is empty.

This may be because the file /etc/environment is not parsed which defines these two variables.

I just installed gnupg-1.4.7 from source and the binaries went to /usr/local/bin. Appending ". /etc/environment" to the file $HOME/.bashrc set the PATH right but I wonder whether programs like 'apt' will use the proper path.

Regards,
Nicky
