Bash got messed after update

I just installed using setup.exe the readline devel package, and as
usual some other packages got updated. Later when opening an xterm
I've noticed some oddities in my bash session, i.e. cwd is `/' instead
of `~', running `ls --color' gives a strange color to directories, `.' is
in my path when I'm not putting it there in any of my setup files,
`/usr/local/bin' is no longer in my path, etc.

All these symptoms even after rebooting.

Checking /var/log/setup.log I see errors related to bash:

2006/01/31 09:42:03 Running preremove script for  base-files

Yes, an xterm window running bash was open, this should not be an
issue, should it?

The same as before.

2006/01/31 09:43:15 mbox note: Installation Complete

Any way to correct this? Would running again the postinstall scripts
help?

Cordially, Ismael
