Comment 0 for bug 1801814

Package contains this file:

/usr/share/gdm/env.d/flatpak.env

With this single line content:

XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

This is setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable, irrespective of it's preexisting value.

In my system I have snapd installed and I have a local configuration for that variable under .config/environment.d/, which gets overwritten and causes issues.

----

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 18.10
Release: 18.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

flatpak:
  Installed: 1.0.4-1
  Candidate: 1.0.4-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.4-1 500
        500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

To have XDG_DATA_DIRS variable populated with the package's value as well as my own.

4) What happened instead

Only the configuration from flatpak's package survived.
