Well, I'm using jhalfs. jhalfs' `chroot' command uses '+h' to turn off
hashing. Each package is then installed using its own script, with a
typical #!/bin/bash shebang line. Tests here suggest that options do
not get inherited by subshells:
Either add "set +h" to each script, or add +h to the shebang line. Or
invoke each script with "bash +h ...". Or, just source the script with
hashall turned off in the current environment. I don't have the jhalfs
source in front of me right now to dig through.
