Public bug reported: Running Xubuntu 20.04.02
I've been running ksh93 for 40 years now. Somewhere in the recent past, ksh started performing in strange ways. In particular, it stopped adding commands with faulty syntax to the command history list, rendering them unavailable for recall and editing. Upon further investigation, I discovered that ksh93 had been silently replaced by ksh2020, which is apparently (according to other reports)a buggy and unsupported version of ksh that AT&T recently washed their hands of. If you look at synaptic, the ksh93 version is not even listed -- only ksh2020. See this image: http://smallthoughts.com/photos/misc/ksh_01.jpg ksh93 is still available in the focal repository and I was able to reinstall it with: apt install ksh93 but it remains unlisted in synaptic. First, ksh2020 is buggy and should not be used -- and certainly not as the primary ksh installation. Second, the distro repository needs to be updated to list the ksh93 package available and made the default. This silent replacement of ksh has caused me many hours of problems! ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1918017 Title: ksh93 problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1918017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
