--- Begin Message ---Package: base Severity: important I just upgraded to squeeze amd64 from lenny. I tried to rebuild my "v3c" package http://sourceforge.net/projects/v3c/ but I'm getting strange errors that I didn't get on lenny. 1. bash seems to have undergone a semantics change - code that worked in Lenny now doesn't. In the "fn" script I had to change if ! which libtoolize &>/dev/null ; then ... fi to libtool --version &>/dev/null || { ... } because bash is executing it in a different way than before. 2. m4 doesn't process like it used to (this could be a bash bug too) aclocal configure.ac:72: error: AC_SUBST: `DX_DONTJOIN(DX_FLAG_,DX_CURRENT_FEATURE)' is not a valid shell variable name Obviously bash/m4 are "working", otherwise I wouldn't be ablt to get this far. Have bash/m4 changed significantly in squeeze? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

If this really is a bash error, please resubmit it against the bash package (not base), thanks! regards, Holger
