Comment:

 Can you please provide me with some information about your shell
 environment?

  * are you using bash? If so,
  * what does your `/etc/profile` file look like?
  * how about `/etc/bashrc`?
  * or, do you have a `~/.bash_profile` file by any chance? What are its
 contents?

 The `postflight` script is only supposed to tweak the user environment
 under a limited set of conditions in order to intervene as least as
 possible. And though I believe it has been successful at that, I have
 heard a couple of times already that it has failed to add our settings to
 the environment when encountered with an allegedly legitimate scenario.
 I'd like to gather as much information about this failure as possible, in
 order to try and spot a pattern.

 Thanks for your help!
