Re: [ast-developers] Fwd: Bug#691200: ksh: cd .. doesn't work in many cases

2012-10-24 Thread Yves Crespin
I notice this problem (cd is broken) on

Version JM 93u+ 2012-02-29

Linux version 3.2.0-3-amd64 (Debian 3.2.23-1) (
debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-8) ) #1
SMP Mon Jul 23 02:45:17 UTC 2012

With the last Debian update ... the ksh version is still the same but now
it's OK !
Actually, I have still  a machine with a broken cd.

Regards,

yves

test-ib-2:b cat cd_broken.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
set -x
print ${.sh.version}
ls ..
print before $PWD
cd ../a
print after $PWD
test-ib-2:b ./cd_broken.ksh
+ print Version JM 93u+ 2012-02-29
Version JM 93u+ 2012-02-29

 Just saw this. Is this a known issue?

 To: sub...@bugs.debian.org


 Package: ksh
 Version: 93u+-1.1
 Justification: renders package unusable
 Severity: grave

 In many situations, cd .. is broken with this version of ksh. For example,
 cd /etc; cd ..
 remains in /etc.

 Thank you

 Oliver Kiddle

This was a known problem with ksh93 2012-02-02 but is fixed in
the current release, 2012-08-01.

I'd rather train ksh/ast users to include ${.sh.version}/upstream-version in 
bug reports
rather than train me to grok distro X version nomenclature

  ast ksh reports a version matching 93[a-z][-+]? -MM-DD

 These are Debian version numbers. Oliver Kiddle okid...@yahoo.co.uk
 can explain how they translate into ast/ksh version numbers.
