Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.6+3 Severity: normal The Xsession(5) man page says:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup [...] If the script is not executable, it is marked to be executed with the Bourne shell interpreter, sh. [...] After the change done in 1:7.6+3 for bug 604010, this is no longer true. It should say: If the script is not executable, it is marked to be executed with $SHELL, or with sh if $SHELL is not set. or something like (I'm not sure whether this is true): If the script is not executable, it is marked to be executed with $SHELL (usually the user's login shell), or with sh if $SHELL is not set. Moreover I think that this change should be announced in the NEWS file, as it can break compatibility (for instance, zsh doesn't do sh word splitting by default). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.38 Debian configuration management sy ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. x11-common suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
