Comment 34 for bug 1640514

This still affects 19.10 eoan.

I hope a bug administrator can update the status to reflect that.

The push by vogt https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/5390/files unfortunately does not work since by environment.d folder looks like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 106 Oct 30 20:17 990-snapd.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 6 22:45 99-environment.conf -> /etc/environment

Notably, 99-envorinment.conf is executed after 990-snapd.conf since it is lexically later, and after 990-snapd.conf writes

PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin

we have 99-environment.conf overwriting

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

it should be noted that 99-environment.conf is provided by the systemd package. I'll also raise a bug there about the naming of 99-environment.conf .
