Package: dash
Version: 0.5.7-3+nmu1
Severity: important
zsh -c "echo test > /dev/full"
zsh:echo:1: write error: no space left on device
bash -c "echo test > /dev/full"
bash: line 0: echo: write error: No space left on device
dash -c "echo test > /dev/full"
[nothing]
echo $?
1
Both bash and zsh inform the user why the operation failed, and
of course also return the error status. dash does return an
error status, but it does not inform the user what the cause of
the error was, which can lead to much confusion.
Example: #684607
Here we have a failure in a subsidiary script which causes a
failure, but without any reporting of the error we only know
that there was a problem, but are left completely in the dark
about what the problem was and have no idea how to rectify it.
Please could you consider printing an error like bash or zsh
when such errors are encountered, including strerr(errno) or
equivalent?
Many thanks,
Roger
