Package: tor Version: 0.3.4.8-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
It is often handy to create shell aliases to do tasks that would otherwise require a lot of retyping the same thing over and over. For example 'git push' might very well be aliased to 'push' at the shell level by alias push='git push' then you could conceivably use > torify push as a shorthand for > torify git push <git url> this however fails: torify does not expand the aliases and doesn't know what 'push' is. As mentioned in the ubuntu downstream bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tor/+bug/1687037 ) it doesn't matter what shell you use, torify just doesn't check. what happens: torify takes the arguments passed in without checking if there are aliases involved what should happen: is torify should be alias-aware. tor: Installed: 0.3.4.8-1 debian: buster -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages tor depends on: ii adduser 3.117 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libcap2 1:2.25-1.2 ii libevent-2.1-6 2.1.8-stable-4 ii liblzma5 5.2.2-1.3 ii libseccomp2 2.3.3-3 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0h-4 ii libsystemd0 239-9 ii libzstd1 1.3.5+dfsg-1 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages tor recommends: ii logrotate 3.14.0-4 ii tor-geoipdb 0.3.4.8-1 ii torsocks 2.2.0-2 Versions of packages tor suggests: pn apparmor-utils <none> pn mixmaster <none> pn obfs4proxy <none> pn socat <none> pn tor-arm <none> pn torbrowser-launcher <none> -- no debconf information
