hi,

i've been wondering why my builds have been taking longer in spite of
having ccache installed and previously set up in my pbuilder chroot.
for the longest time i just assumed i was doing something wrong and
never bothered to look into it, but now i believe that this is a valid
problem, perhaps caused by the fix for #439285 ?

example:

rangda[~] grep PATH /etc/pbuilderrc
# Set the PATH I am going to use inside pbuilder: default is
# "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
export PATH2=hi

rangda[~] sudo pbuilder --login --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/etch-amd64/base.tgz
<snip>
root at rangda:/# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
root at rangda:/# echo $PATH2
hi

so other environment variables are not affected.  i'm not sure what the
best way to solve this for the general case is, but i will probably
solve this by modifying /etc/profile in my various pbuilder/cowbuilder
chroots.


thanks,
	sean
