Hello,

Can you please check which version of base-files here you using?
In 4.0-6 I have:

if [ ! "x${BASH_VERSION}" = "x"  ]; then
  HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
  profile_d sh
  [ -f "/etc/bash.bashrc" ] && . "/etc/bash.bashrc"
elif [ ! "x${KSH_VERSION}" = "x" ]; then
  typeset -l HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
  profile_d sh
  PS1=$(print '\033]0;${PWD}\n\033[32m${USER}@${HOSTNAME}
\033[33m${PWD/${HOME}/~}\033[0m\n$ ')
elif [ ! "x${ZSH_VERSION}" = "x" ]; then
  HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
  profile_d zsh
  PS1='(%n@%m)[%h] %~ %% '
elif [ ! "x${POSH_VERSION}" = "x" ]; then
  HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
  PS1="$ "
else
  HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
  profile_d sh
  PS1="$ "
fi

As per:

Maybe you modified /etc/profile preventing it to get updated before 4.0-6.
