Title: bash man page has a typo, repeating .bashrc when one should be /etc/bash.bashrc Status in bash package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The INVOCATION section of the man page has the text "reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist and are readable" which repeats "~/.bashrc". By experiment, I find it probable that the first of these .bashrc references should read "/etc/bash.bashrc".
