Yes, it is related to XDG_DATA_DIRS and it can be tedious to find which
package brings the issue.

I had a similar issue with the package ’python-ipython’ and recently
with ’fontconfig’ – both cases running on the top of Debian.

The issue can happen whatever the profile; it just depends which ones
are sourced by your login shell.


Cheers,
