Comment 2 for bug 59253

May be related to the fact that my ~/.bashrc is not new.

I used Fedora Core distros, then switched to Ubuntu so the expected variable you talk about is missing.

Here's the (very simple) content :

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

I don't know how we can address this issue, when you're reinstalling a newer distro version (or switching distro) it is normal that the ~/.bashrc of the users remains (if /home was in a separate partition not re-formated at install).
Is copying /etc/bash.bashrc in all the ~/.bashrc a good idea ? (assuming no user has made some particular config that he wants to keep)
