[Touch-packages] [Bug 1760358] Re: Bash read into array is not working
Ah!!! Actually, this does work,
$ simon=( $( ls -1 /usr ) )
$ echo ${#simon[@]}
8
$ echo ${simon[@]}
bin games include lib local sbin share src
This will still cause scripts in the wild to break. But at least there's
a workaround.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1760358] Re: Bash read into array is not working
Hello
This still affects Bionic final release version: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS,
bash 4.4.19(1).
Using bash's array capabilities in this way is extremely useful and
being unable to use it makes bash scripting much harder work. I'm
surprised such a serious issue remains unfixed some 4 months after
Bionic was released! I'm sure this would be affecting all sorts of
sysadmin scripts in the wild.
