Package: xterm Version: 302-1 Severity: important Hi *,
I’ve got a script that dumps the contents of the environment at startup to syslog, and just used it to investigate a user-visible problem. tl;dr: the output of xterm -e dumpargs differs between screen 301-1 (Debian) and 302-1 (Debian; no idea if this bug is also upstream): Among the usual differences like $PGRP and $WINDOWID I have: --- x1 2014-03-06 09:28:26.356676132 +0100 +++ x2 2014-03-06 09:28:26.092672608 +0100 @@ -31,8 +31,8 @@ typeset PWD=/home/tglase typeset -x QUILT_PATCHES=- -typeset -i -x -U RANDOM=15871 +typeset -i -x -U RANDOM=565 typeset -i SECONDS=0 -typeset -x SHELL= +typeset -x SHELL=/bin/mksh typeset -x SIRCNICK='mira|AO' typeset -x SIRCSERVER=127.0.0.1:s7000 typeset -x SSH_AGENT_PID=3511 @@ -52,12 +52,12 @@ typeset -x USER=tglase typeset -i -U USER_ID=2339 typeset -x VISUAL=/usr/bin/jupp -typeset -x WINDOWID=25165837 +typeset -x WINDOWID=33554445 typeset -x WINDOWPATH=7 typeset -x XDG_SESSION_COOKIE=87bd0826b5c41524a188f458494f992f-1393518574.144306-436980184 typeset -x XDM_MANAGED='method=classic' typeset -x XTERM_LOCALE=en_GB.UTF-8 typeset -x XTERM_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/dumpargs -typeset -x XTERM_VERSION='XTerm(302)' +typeset -x XTERM_VERSION='XTerm(301)' typeset -x _=/usr/bin/xterm args(0) 0:/usr/local/bin/dumpargs User story: I use “xterm -e screen” (basically) to start GNU screen, which then has “shell "-${SHELL}"” in ~/.screenrc which should really really not be empty. Also, xterm IMHO has no business touching that part of my environment. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libutempter0 1.1.5-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.12-1 ii libxft2 2.3.1-2 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.1-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1 ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-2 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+1 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
