Package: libvte-2.91-common
Version: 0.58.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
At the start of my $HOME/.bashrc I have configured "set -u" to catch the
use of undefined variables.
Whenever I open a new gnome-terminal window using bash as the shell, the
script vte-2.91.sh will emit two messages about dereferencing an
undefined variable ZSH_VERSION.
The script starts like this:
# Not bash or zsh?
[ -n "$BASH_VERSION" -o -n "$ZSH_VERSION" ] || return 0
# Not an interactive shell?
[[ $- == *i* ]] || return 0
# Not running under vte?
[ "${VTE_VERSION:-0}" -ge 3405 ] || return 0
Note: for VTE_VERSION, the correct pattern is being used. I believe that
that pattern is POSIX shell compliant; at least it works in /bin/dash.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
I hope that you can apply this patch to the Debian packages or submit it
upstream. I think that this bug has been present for years, but I did
not investigate or file it until now.
Best regards,
Marko
