Package: dash Version: 0.5.4-2 Severity: important When some builtins such as "set" or "shift" fails, dash doesn't execute the remaining commands of the command line:
$ set -o pipefail; echo OK set: 1: Illegal option -o pipefail $ shift; echo OK shift: 2: can't shift that many $ cd does_not_exist; echo OK cd: 3: can't cd to does_not_exist OK $ One can see that "set" and "shift" are affected, but not "cd". This bug prevents from building some projects when /bin/sh is dash, because one can have in a Makefile: set -o pipefail 2>/dev/null; \ <some command with a pipe> -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dash depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dash recommends no packages. -- debconf information: dash/sh: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
