Package: bash
Version: 4.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
My "$HOME"/.bashrc does set -u, which causes it to warn about
dereferencing undefined variables. Whenever I start a shell, I get a
warning (in LANG=fi_FI.utf8) like this:
bash: debian_chroot: sitomaton muuttuja
The fix is simple. In /etc/bash.bashrc, replace $debian_chroot with
${debian_chroot:-}. This should work even in dash:
- if [ -z "$debian_chroot" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
+ if [ -z "${debian_chroot:-}" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
There are similar problems in the bash-completion package, which prompted me
to uninstall it. (It spit out similar messages, and completion did not work
at all when the package was installed.)

Changes:
bash (4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Apply upstream patches 025 - 029, fixes for
- When used in a shell function, `declare -g -a array=(compound
assignment)'
creates a local variable instead of a global one.
- The `lastpipe' option does not behave correctly on machines where the
open file limit is less than 256.
- When the `extglob' shell option is enabled, pattern substitution does not
work correctly in the presence of multibyte characters.
- When using a word expansion for which the right hand side is evaluated,
certain expansions of quoted null strings include spurious ^? characters.
- Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that
shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
character to the shell. This patch introduces two things:
- A new shell option, `direxpand', which, if set, attempts to emulate the
bash-4.1 behavior of expanding words to full pathnames during
completion;
- A set of heuristics that reduce the number of times special characters
such as `$' are quoted when the directory name is not expanded.
* Mark bash and bash-static as Multi-Arch: foreign . Closes: #674120.
* Avoid warning for unset debian_chroot with -u (Marko Mäkelä).
Closes: #659940.
* Fix string expansion: \u and \U for code points U+0080 to U+00FF (Darran
Salt). Closes: #661386.
* Search $- for `i' for the interactivity test. Closes: #482194.
* Search for bash_completion in /usr/share/bash-completion too.
Closes: #655071, #655208.
