Package: bash Version: 3.0-17 Severity: serious Tags: patch bash fails to build because "test -c /dev/stdin" fails if /dev/stdin is a symbolic link (as it is in my fresh pbuilder chroot):
> : # see #327477, needed to have HAVE_DEV_STDIN defined > test -c /dev/stdin > make: *** [before-build] Error 1 The attached patch makes this test use the same commands as configure, which handles this case correctly. -- Matt
