Package: dash Version: 0.5.2-5 Severity: normal
dash doesnt reset SHELL but inherits the value from a parent calling shell, leading to tests of SHELL giving the wrong result. example initiated from bash prompt: $ echo $SHELL /bin/bash # correct $ /bin/dash $ echo $SHELL /bin/bash # incorrect dash should export its own 'SHELL' or unset it. *** /home/brian/.reportbug.sig NOTE: Due to debian.org's inadequate measures to prevent email address harvesting from bugs.debian.org, you must include "Bug#", without the quotes, in the subject of any email that you wish to send me directly.
