not a kernel issue at all, fooled by the upgrade of davis, where the
kernel *and* the /bin/sh symlink changed at the same time.
the culprit is a perl build script in OOo, leading to the obscure
failure:
sub suck_setup($)
{
my $file = shift;
if (-f $file) {
print "Reading setup from $file\n";
open ($Vars, ". $file ; set|") || die "Can't find $file: $!";
while (<$Vars>) {
/([^=]*)=(.*)/ || next;
$setup_vars{$1} = $2;
}
close ($Vars);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
apparently dash does quotes all the variables, even if quoting is
unnecessary. OOo relies on that :-/ Fixing that in the script:
open ($Vars, "bash -c '. $file ; set'|") || die "Can't find
$file: $!";
Apparently perl always executes shell scripts using /bin/sh and doesn't
use the SHELL environment variable at all.
