Package: dash Version: 0.5.12-12 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
this is basically a copy of https://bugs.debian.org/443685 but for dash instead of bash. The discussion at https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1234 is helpful. This behavior of bash is the correct posix behavior: ``` $ bash -o posix -c 'a=\\; echo $a\/*' /bin /boot /dev /etc /home /initrd.img /initrd.img.old /lib /lib64 /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old ``` dash instead behaves this way: ``` $ dash -c 'a=\\; echo $a\/*' \/* ``` -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.13-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dash depends on: ii debianutils 5.21 ii libc6 2.40-6 dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded
