pkgutil can not read conf files

Dear all,

I have a fresh PP8.5 install on a Centos 6.4 64bit machine. I followed Linux installation instructions and the server worked fine out of the box.

Now I tried to install new packages on linux and first I found that no environment variables are defined whatsoever for pkgutil to work properly (no LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the PP installation directory for instance). I defined the LD_LIBRARY_PATH by hand. Next I tried to install a new package (or upgrade an existing package) and I systematically get :

"The package configuration file cannot be read. Package name: .... Package path: ....."

I this an already reported issue.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.
