Package: zsh
Version: 4.2.5-7
Severity: normal
Hi,
This is very simple. zsh is not to be considered a ksh.
This simple command fails using zsh as ksh (I did update-alternatives) :
trap 'echo alert-an-error-occured' ERR
This simple command succeeds with `normal/standard' ksh, tested with :
Solaris ksh,
OSF1 ksh,
AIX ksh,
pdksh (debian sarge),
www.kornshell.com ksh.
I hope you will remove this alternative before too many scripts break...
Regards,
Christophe.
