After the latest update to hydro, I am having trouble with my ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. Instead of

/home/dlu/Robots/Catkin/hydro_nav/src:/opt/ros/hydro/share:/opt/ros/hydro/stacks

which allows me to use my custom source navigation, instead after sourcing /home/dlu/Robots/Catkin/hydro_nav/devel/setup.bash, I get

/opt/ros/hydro/share:/opt/ros/hydro/stacks:/home/dlu/Robots/Catkin/hydro_nav/src

Why has our lord Catkin forsaken me so?

Can you please provide a sequence of commands which reproduce the problem?

What version of catkin?

I apologize for the inconvenience. Despite replicating it on two computers earlier, I cannot replicate it now.

When you source a setup.* file since Groovy it will always overwrite your environment. The environment of your workspace uses the environment which was set when you invoked CMake the first time and prepends the workspace specific paths.

Setup files for catkin *set* the environment, they do not *extend* the environment. To get that behavior you need to do `source setup.bash --extend`. With catkin workspaces you should only ever need to source one thing, the end of your workspace chain.
