Its value is ("/home/marcin/texlive/2014/bin/i386-linux" "/home/marcin/bin" "/usr/local/sbin" "/usr/local/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/usr/bin" "/sbin" "/bin" "/usr/games" "/usr/local/games" "/usr/local/libexec/emacs/25.0.50/i686-pc-linux-gnu") Original value was ("/home/marcin/texlive/2014/bin/i386-linux" "/home/marcin/bin" "/usr/local/sbin" "/usr/local/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/usr/bin" "/sbin" "/bin" "/usr/games" "/usr/local/games" "/home/marcin/other-files/emacs/emacs/lib-src" "/usr/local/libexec/emacs/25.0.50/i686-pc-linux-gnu") The /home/marcin/other-files/emacs/emacs is where the source code of my Emacs lives. Why is there a difference between its "value" and "original value"? Needless to say, I do not mess with it in my init.el.
