Debian bug #516152 is from 2009, and #343673 from 2006 ... none of them are fixed, so I don't think they care.
This is not an irrelevant package we are talking about, its a flaw in invocation of something critical like bash. Is there any chance this could be patched ASAP in Ubuntu and then the patch submitted to Debian afterwards? Also, this is not only a bug in documentation as #516152 and #343673 suggests: with current behaviour, it's impossible to "disable" the execution of /etc/bash.bashrc and still give the user a choice of executing a personal rcfile. Samples: $ cat /etc/bash.bashrc echo etcbashrc $ cat ~/customrc echo customrc $ cat ~/.bashrc echo bashrc $ bash etcbashrc bashrc $ bash --rcfile ~/customrc etcbashrc customrc $ bash --norc --rcfile ~/customrc $ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589496 Title: bash --rcfile does not behave as documented To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/589496/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
