Package: mksh Version: 59c-41+b2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

In contrast dash, bash, and ksh93 follow POSIX in this regard. echo echo hello world >"$HOME/envtest" # Note the single-quotes ENV='$HOME/envtest' dash # echos hello world ENV='$HOME/envtest' mksh # no echo -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.101+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.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 mksh depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12+deb13u3 Versions of packages mksh recommends: ii ed 1.21.1-1 mksh suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
