Package: posh
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal
posh shares the following POSIX compliance bug with pdksh, quoting:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Shellology.html#index-g_t_0040samp_007bpdksh_007d-1173
| Unfortunately, with pdksh 5.2.14 (the latest stable version as of
| February 2006) Posix mode is buggy and causes pdksh to depart from Posix
| in at least one respect:
|
| $ echo "`echo \"hello\"`"
| hello
| $ set -o posix
| $ echo "`echo \"hello\"`"
| "hello"
|
|
| The last line of output contains spurious quotes. This is yet another
| reason why portable shell code should not contain "`...\"...\"...`"
| constructs [...]
posh gives the same wrong output as in the last line of the example.
