If the GRASS_VERSION is due to something in .bashrc or similar,
re-installing won't have any effect.

/etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.profile,
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_login, ~/.alias or ~/.grass.bashrc
may contain settings which could affect this.

Also, if you have an old version of GRASS installed anywhere, remove
it.
