Package: bash
Version: 4.2+dfsg-0.1
In a shell script when there is any array bash report an error on the
variable. For instance in file.sh :
a[0]=1
echo ${a[0]}
when executed bash would report an error on 2nd line
I'm using debian 7.0 from version in dvd. It happened already when it was
testing.
The particularities of my system are:
- nouveau ( riva TNT2 ) that makes graphics unusable because x crashes just
in seconds always from second time you reboot, not first one, with the x
just fresh installed.
- the system has no internet.
- just installed the minimum , and packages added aftewards with apt-get

Most likely you are invoking dash here. That's not bash. Then again
arrays are not required by POSIX, so dash isn't wrong here either.
Assuming this to be correct, there is no bug, so I am closing it. In
case my guess about /bin/sh pointing to dash is wrong, please reopen.
