Package: ash Version: 0.5.4-12 Severity: normal
Hiya, $ ash -c '. -- --help' .: 1: --: not found The handling of "--" is mandated by POSIX I beleive. With ksh, pdksh, bash and in a POSIX script in general as POSIX allows any "." implementation to recognise options, you have to use: . -- "$1" if you can't guarantee that "$1" won't start with a "-". Unfortunately, that code doesn't work with ash, so a POSIX script written in such a robust way will fail on those systems where ash is the POSIX sh interpreter.
