New comment by Chocimier on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/14267#issuecomment-769655408 Comment: /etc/profile already have /usr/bin in front of /bin. Problem here is that /etc/profile appends to PATH passed to shell from it's parent, and every parent (atty, ssh, different graphical login managers) passes something different, usually not fitting usrmerge. Unless there is vaild usecase for preserving parent's path, it could be reset by /etc/profile instead of patching all possible parents.
