Package: autoconf-archive
Version: 20090426-1
Severity: important
The latest dash from experimental (0.5.6.1-1~exp2) gets selected as shell when
running
some configure scripts whereas bash was before.
(I know get "#! /bin/sh" instead of "#! /bin/bash" on top config.status
generated by configure)
The change could result from the following test (in ac_init I guess?) which
dash did not pass before:
if test $as_have_required = yes && (eval ":
(as_func_return () {
(exit \$1)
}
....
as_lineno_1=\$LINENO
as_lineno_2=\$LINENO
test \"x\$as_lineno_1\" != \"x\$as_lineno_2\" &&
test \"x\`expr \$as_lineno_1 + 1\`\" = \"x\$as_lineno_2\") || { (exit 1);
exit 1; }
") 2> /dev/null; then
(It may be related to recent LINENO support ?)
Then the code produced by the macro AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H has an incorrect
behavior because of those lines:
echo "s/#undef *\\([ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_]\\)/#undef
$ac_prefix_conf_UPP""_\\1/" > conftest.prefix
echo "s/#undef *\\([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]\\)/#undef
$ac_prefix_conf_LOW""_\\1/" >> conftest.prefix
echo "s/#define
*\\([ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_][abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_]*\\)\\(.*\\)/#ifndef
$ac_prefix_conf_UPP""_\\1 \\" >> conftest.prefix
echo "#define $ac_prefix_conf_UPP""_\\1 \\2 \\" >> conftest.prefix
echo "#endif/" >>conftest.prefix
echo "s/#define
*\\([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz][abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_]*\\)\\(.*\\)/#ifndef
$ac_prefix_conf_LOW""_\\1 \\" >> conftest.prefix
echo "#define $ac_prefix_conf_LOW""_\\1 \\2 \\" >> conftest.prefix
echo "#endif/" >> conftest.prefix
where \\1 and \\2 get transformed into the Unicode characters U+0001 and U+0002.
With bash they used to produce \1 and \2 (as intended I guess).
Not sure if this should have been reported here or on autoconf or dash page or
anywhere else.
