Subject: bug#23914: 24.5; tramp-get-remote-path fails with some shells if tramp-own-remote-path is used
Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2016 01:57:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bn28a4nb.fsf@thor.piquan.org> (raw)
On FreeBSD, if tramp-own-remote-path is a member of, then using tramp's
sudo method raises an error similar to:
byte-code: `/bin/sh -l -c 'echo 9905dea968fdd4a549d307a722e8109b \"$PATH\"'' returns with error
On FreeBSD, /bin/sh does not accept the -l flag. bash, dash, and ksh
do, but that's not part of the POSIX shell requirements (see
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sh.html), and
historically the Bourne shell doesn't.
This can be traced to tramp-get-remote-path, where it sends the command
"%s -l %s 'echo %s \\\"$PATH\\\"'", where the first %s is the shell.
I typically remove the -l flag in that function to make my Emacs work.
Again, this only applies if tramp-own-remote-path is a member of
tramp-remote-path; otherwise, that part of the code isn't invoked. It's
not there by default, but it's very useful.
