Bash environment variables errors detected during startup

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello.
For a very long time I got an error in journald coming from startplasma-x11 during startup.
This error arise after :

Dec 25 15:54:59 15-4—G731GV-VM-04 sddm-helper[1509]: pam_unix(sddm:session): session opened for user user_install_vb by (uid=0)
Dec 25 15:54:59 15-4—G731GV-VM-04 sddm-helper[1509]: Starting: “/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession "/usr/bin/startplasma-x11"”
Dec 25 15:54:59 15-4—G731GV-VM-04 sddm-helper[1520]: Adding cookie to “/run/user/1000/xauth_mWBUUj”

These errors concern configuration files of mine copied in ‘/etcprofile.d’
One file contains bash function definition.
One example :

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

abort_because_test

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

function abort_because_test () {

local L_LINENO=" "
local L_MESG=" "

if [[ $# -gt 0 ]] ; then
L_LINENO=“$1”
if [[ $# -gt 1 ]] ; then
L_MESG=“$2”
fi
fi

echo
printf  "%s\n" "${MY_LIGHT_PURPLE}! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # !"
printf  "%s\n" "!"
printf  "%s\n" "!   LINENO : $L_LINENO"
printf  "%s\n" "!"
printf  "%s\n" "!   MESG   : $L_MESG"
printf  "%s\n" "!"
printf  "%s\n" "!   ABORT BECAUSE TEST"
printf  "%s\n" "!"
printf  "%s\n" "! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # ! # !${NOCOLOR}"
echo

exit ${E_TEST_ABORT:-251}

}

export -f abort_because_test

One other file contains variables value definition.
One example :

declare -i MY_DEBUG=0 INIT_TITLE=0 FLAG_NOT_EXIST=0 FLAG_EXIST=0 PRE_TASK=0 POST_TASK=0 DO_BACKUP=0 DO_BACKUP_PREVIOUS=0 MODE_TEST=0 USE_LOG=0 MODE_VERBOSE=0 MODE_VERBOSE_ETC_FILE=0
export MY_DEBUG INIT_TITLE FLAG_NOT_EXIST FLAG_EXIST PRE_TASK POST_TASK DO_BACKUP DO_BACKUP_PREVIOUS MODE_TEST USE_LOG MODE_VERBOSE MODE_VERBOSE_ETC_FILE

declare -i MIN_NB_BASH_FUNC=75
export MIN_NB_BASH_FUNC

It seems that the variables are parsed twice by the same process : 1520 belonging to startplasma-x11

I use these configuration files for years.
It seems that the problem appear with 15.4 ( perhaps also with 15.3 ) and is also present in 15.5.

That does not perturb execution of my scripts.

See : journald startplasma-x11 error

You have about 6 days of support left for Leap 15.4.
Upgrade to supported distribution.

Nice try but it doesn’t work.

Same problem with 15.5
