debian 12 minimal. I’ve got apps loaded on some of my VMs that require environment variables to be set. So the desktop file for the app actually calls a run script (in /usr/local/bin) that calls a setup-script (also in /usr/local/bin) to set the environment variables, then starts the actual program.
The call to the run script in the desktop file does not give a full path. It seems to work, because the run script does get called (otherwise nothing at all would happen).
The run script invokes the setup script; it does not give a path. The setup script is also in /usr/local/bin. It apparently doesn’t execute; it used to. When I put the path in the run script, it works. But why do I suddenly have to do so?
To summarize:
vfe.desktop has:
exec=run-vfe (with run-vfe in /usr/local/bin).
/usr/local/bin/run-vfe sources setup-vfe which is also in /usr/local/bin. This call fails for some reason, after this update. The next thing it starts up is the actual vfe app, which malfunctions because setup-vfe was never sourced.
This worked until I updated tonight. Now apparently I have to source /usr/local/bin/setup-vfe in run-vfe. What happened?
