Public bug reported: gcore fails to execute on bionic
$ gcore /usr/bin/gcore: 28: /usr/bin/gcore: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Line 28 is: 28 dump_all_cmds=() This appears to be bash syntax for arrays (as reinforced further down) which is not compatible with the /bin/sh shebang using dash. Upstream has a recent commit to move this from /bin/sh to bash (along also making other changes to fix problems with quoting within the same commit): https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=e1e6f073a9f5d7c3183cb8096fb24a42c28ba36b As a minimum fix we should probably change it from /bin/sh to /bin/bash ** Affects: gdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: gdb (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762320 Title: gcore does not execute, uses /bin/sh but requires bash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/1762320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
