[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1824438] Re: libvte: syntax error in /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh
I experienced no problem save the creation of that file. I had read somewhere that the existence of such a file owed to a problem with either `/etc/profile` or some (any) file within '/etc/profile.d`. I had read further that a way to test any such files was to run them via `sh -n`. I followed that procedure rather blindly and encountered the message that I gave above. What you say makes me realise that in fact I have no reason to think there is a problem with vte. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vte2.91 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824438 Title: libvte: syntax error in /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: etc/profile.d $ sh -n vte-2.91.sh vte-2.91.sh: 61: vte-2.91.sh: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") I believe that this problem leads to the creation of a file called 'config-err' in my /tmp folder.

What problem did you experience at the first place? What's your goal when you execute the mentioned command? vte-2.91.sh was written for bash and zsh. You execute it with sh (dash). Due to -n, the commands are not executed and thus it skips the bash/zsh check and continues. Then it fails on a bash/zsh specific syntax. This script is not meant to be executed manually, especially not with -n. As such, I see no problem whatsoever. > I believe that this problem leads to the creation of a file called 'config-err' in my /tmp folder.
