Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Bas van G (bavang-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Error-messages on bash startup (with fix) Distribution: None Originally reported in: None Milestone: None Status: Invalid Original bug number: Initial Comment: Hi, When starting bash, I got messages like following: bash: [: =: unary operator expected bash: [: =: unary operator expected After some tracing I found the cause in /etc/bash_completion.d/procps This uses the value $UNAME unquoted on lines 26 and 41, and, since UNAME is not set on my system, this causes above errors. Quoting $UNAME fixes it for me. Hope this will help -at least- other people with systems which are as poorly configured as this one. greetings, Bas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bas van G (bavang-guest) Date: 2012-10-24 00:53 Message: Hm... reinstalling made the entire file disappear...
