Description Pavel Raiskup 2017-04-18 14:02:15 UTC 
It is really inconvenient to hear complaints like:

$ sudo bash -c '/usr/bin/modulecmd bash load existing-scl'
locate_module.c(245):ERROR:107: 'MODULEPATH' not set
ModuleCmd_Load.c(213):ERROR:105: Unable to locate a modulefile for 'existing-scl'

So I would propose to not strictly *require* MODULEPATH variable, but have it as
an option (let's have a set of directories we load by default, even if
MODULEPATH is not set).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
Changing version to '27'.
Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2017-11-10 17:56:57 UTC 
Closing in favor of older bug-ID.
