24 bash (4.2-4) unstable; urgency=high
26 * Apply upstream patches 030 - 036, fixes for
27 - When attempting to glob strings in a multibyte locale, and those strings
28 contain invalid multibyte characters that cause mbsnrtowcs to return 0,
29 the globbing code loops infinitely.
30 - A change between bash-4.1 and bash-4.2 to prevent the readline input hook
31 from being called too frequently had the side effect of causing delays
32 when reading pasted input on systems such as Mac OS X. This patch fixes
33 those delays while retaining the bash-4.2 behavior.
34 - Bash-4.2 has problems with DEL characters in the expanded value of
35 variables used in the same quoted string as variables that expand
37 - Bash uses a static buffer when expanding the /dev/fd prefix for the test
38 and conditional commands, among other uses, when it should use a dynamic
39 buffer to avoid buffer overflow.
40 - In bash-4.2, the history code would inappropriately add a semicolon to
41 multi-line compound array assignments when adding them to the history.
42 - When given a number of lines to read, `mapfile -n lines' reads
44 - Bash-4.2 produces incorrect word splitting results when expanding
45 double-quoted $@ in the same string as and adjacent to other variable
46 expansions. The $@ should be split, the other expansions should not.

50 bash (4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
52 * Apply upstream patches 025 - 029, fixes for
53 - When used in a shell function, `declare -g -a array=(compound assignment)'
54 creates a local variable instead of a global one.
55 - The `lastpipe' option does not behave correctly on machines where the
56 open file limit is less than 256.
57 - When the `extglob' shell option is enabled, pattern substitution does not
58 work correctly in the presence of multibyte characters.
59 - When using a word expansion for which the right hand side is evaluated,
60 certain expansions of quoted null strings include spurious ^? characters.
61 - Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
62 without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that
63 shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
64 unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
65 character to the shell. This patch introduces two things:
66 - A new shell option, `direxpand', which, if set, attempts to emulate the
67 bash-4.1 behavior of expanding words to full pathnames during
69 - A set of heuristics that reduce the number of times special characters
70 such as `$' are quoted when the directory name is not expanded.

131 - Make sure /bin/sh is present and points to an executable, forcibly
132 creating symlinks /bin/sh -> bash and /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz ->
134 - Divert /bin/sh and sh.1.gz on behalf of dash if we are upgrading from
135 a bash version with /bin/sh in the files list and bash's copy of
136 /bin/sh is not already diverted. This ensures unpacking bash will not
137 cause /bin/sh to go missing.

814 - Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to overwrite previous output when the
815 output doesn't contain a newline and the locale supports multibyte
816 characters. This same change fixes the problem of readline redisplay
817 slowing down dramatically as the line gets longer in multibyte locales.
819 - The shell no longer seg faults if the expanded value of $PS4 is null
820 and `set -x' is enabled. Closes: #165533.
821 - Don't define a default DEFAULT_MAIL_DIRECTORY, because it can cause
822 a timeout on NFS mounts. Closes: #211426.
823 - Fixed a bad interaction between alias and completion. Closes: #186218.
824 - Fix initialization of local variables with "$@". Closes: #180290.
825 - Fixed segfault in "read -a foo <<< $(echo)". Closes: #167003.
826 - Fixed the history word tokenizer to handle <( and >( better when used as
827 part of bash. Closes: #165212.
828 - Fixed EINTR signal killing redirection. Closes: #164134.
829 - Fixed infinite loop with IFS="<non-ws-char>" and compgen -W.
831 - Fixed the internal logout code so that shells that time out waiting for
832 input (using $TMOUT) run ~/.bash_logout. Closes: #152847.
833 - Speedups to the multibyte character redisplay code. Closes: #197965.
834 - Better error message on wrong kill arguments. Closes: #193570.
835 - Overwriting of prompt. Closes: #176968.
836 - The shell now reports on processes that dump core due to signals when
837 invoked as `-c command'. Closes: #211693.
838 - Fixed ferror beeing called w/o always first calling clearerr
839 results in spurious errors reported. Closes: #195116.
840 - Add missing trailing slash on directory completion. Closes: #178828.
841 - Fix different behaviour for builtin and external commands together
842 with arithmetic expansion. Closes: #173744.
843 - Fixed a bug that caused redirections accompanying a null command
844 to persist in the current shell. Closes: #173148.
845 - Fixed a bug that caused a leading `-' in the shell's name to cause it to
846 not be recognized as a restricted shell. Closes: #170298.
847 - Fix segfault in ill formed paramter expansion. Closes: #162773.
848 - Fixed a bug in brace expansion that caused a quoted `$' preceding an
849 open brace to inhibit brace expansion. Closes: #157954.
850 - Removed the attempts to avoid adding a slash at the end of a completed
851 executable name if there was a directory with the same name in the
852 current directory. Closes: #155134, #189006.
853 - Fix error message for circular alias expansions. Closes: #173588.
854 - Fixed a bug that caused some key bindings set in an inputrc to be ignored
855 at shell startup. Closes: #110969.
856 - Fix segfault on bad array subscripts. Closes: #232653.
857 - Fix "set completion-ignore-case on" breaking some tab completion.
859 - Flag an error when a user uses "% DIGITS" instead of "%DIGITS", and
860 don't give him a different job instead. Closes: #173854.
861 - For 'cd filename' say 'not a directory', not 'no such file or directory'
862 when filename exists and is not a directory. Closes: #219958.
863 - Expansion results are the same for ${1:+"$@"} and "$@" if IFS is not
865 - The locale code does a better job of recomputing the various locale
866 variable values when LC_ALL is unset. Closes: #160932.

1461 was a mistake to include it in the first place -- it screws up the grammar.
1462 Old Bourne shells and test commands had it because there was no other
1463 way to find the length of a variable's value. Since bash has
1464 ${#variable}, there's no need for it. POSIX.2 says, in the rationale,
1465 that implementation is irregular and that the shell supports it directly
1466 * Unable to reproduce #19211 submitted for version 2.01 in current
1467 versions (2.04, 2.05).
1468 * Close #2301, safe creation of temp files is documented in bash(1):
1469 "If the redirection operator is >, and the noclobber option to the set
1470 builtin has been enabled, the redirection will fail if the file whose
1471 name results from the expansion of word exists and is a regular file.
1472 If the redirection operator is >|, or the redirection operator is > and
1473 the noclobber option to the set builtin command is not enabled, the
1474 redirection is attempted even if the file named by word exists."
1475 * Fixed upstream in 2.05: #84743.
1476 * #76596: Bourne-style shells have always accepted multiple directory name
1477 arguments to cd. If the user doesn't like it, have him define a shell
1478 function (see README.Debian).
1479 * bash already has enabled the system wide /etc/bash.bashrc (#82117).
1480 * #88223: Starting bash with --posix, or -o posix, or as `sh', does make
1481 the entire bash session posix-compliant (with the caveats noted in the
1482 info manual). Posix-compliant does not mean `behaves exactly like
1483 historical versions of sh', nor does it mean `does only what is in
1484 the standard and nothing more'.
1486 Posix says nothing about brace expansion, so whether or not bash does
1487 brace expansion in posix mode has no bearing on posix compliance.
1489 If you don't want brace expansion, use `set +o braceexpand' or
1490 `set +B' or start bash with the `+B' option.
1492 * Lower temporarily severity of #92455, so that this version can move
1493 to testing. This bug exists in 2.04 as well, so we don't make things

1623 Comment from upstream: This is not a bash bug; it is a process resource

1628 I couldn't reproduce it anywhere but Linux, because the machines I tested

1751 #29863, #37971, #38411, #40930, #49702). #37971 either here or in libc6.
1753 * Separate out documentation and examples to bash-doc package.
1754 * Do not build shared readline libs from this source. According to the
1755 upstream author: "It's not appropriate to build shared libraries from
1756 the readline shipped with bash. That is designed to be linked directly
1758 * Link statically with included libreadline. It's intended, because
1759 potato does not have a libreadline4 yet. Wait for bash-2.04 and
1760 it's version of libreadline.
1761 * debian/README.Debian: Sort of FAQ suggested by Guy Maor.
1762 * debian/copyright: Updated URL.
1763 * debian/rules: Introduced some variables for packages and directories.
1764 * debian/control: Updated package names. Add Build-Depends.
1765 * Point to /usr/doc/share in man pages (rbash.1, builtins.1).
1766 * Make /usr/doc compatibility links (all but libreadline.postinst, which
1768 * debian/patches/conf-update.dpatch: New config files from automake
1770 * debian/patches/bashbug-editor.dpatch: Use EDITOR variable
1771 (closes #32576, #32577).
1772 * debian/etc.profile: Fixed comment that /etc/profile is used for Bourne
1773 shell and Bourne compatible shells (closes: #3459).
1774 * debian/patches/tempnam.dpatch: Applied patch from report #35975
1776 * bash is not responsible for setting $USER in login shells (closes: #36103).
1777 * Compile with -DSYS_BASHRC defined. /etc/bash.bashrc is empty by default
1779 * Fixed with boot-floppies 2.1.3 (closes: #22517).
1780 * debian/patches/mailcheck.dpatch: Add maildir support. Patch from
1781 Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl> (closes #38794).
1782 * Patches from NMU are applied (should close #43096).
1783 * debian/control: Make builtins depend on source version of bash.
1784 * Build for i386, not i486.
1785 * Report #28811: "dpkg segfaults trying to install bash. Logging in then
1786 produces segfault. Still having to run 2.00.0(1)". Not reproducable.
1787 * Report #15165: "If the last command in the pipeline is killed by a signal,
1788 bash does not report it even though $? contains the correct value".
1790 * Report #21645: "If you type `rm */text*<TAB>', previous versions would
1791 complete text given that they're under the same directory. 2.01.1-1
1792 doesn't do that anymore.". Not documented anywhere. It seems, this was
1793 a bug disguised as a feature ;-)
1794 * Report #36027: "During compiling bash package, files with hardcoded names
1795 are created in /tmp. In a malicious multi-user environment, this allows
1796 attacks to the user's files and possibly allow creating trojan packages.
1797 If the compiling user is root...".
1798 Submitter cannot be reached. autoconf/automake issues? Reassign to general?
1799 * Report #16700: "bash terminated when I asked it "mailq -v", while in an
1800 xterm, with a sysload of approx 1"; not reproducable. Submitter offers
1802 * Report #37637: Not reproduceable (should close #37637).
1803 * Report #37275: A dpkg error? Or just another reason to completely link
1805 * Report #34978, #42858: The prerm now is a binary pragram.
1806 #34977 as well? #36016 (patch)?
1807 * Report #43737: Non bug. Behaviour changed from 1.4 to 2.0 (closes: #43737).
1808 * Report #36459: Non bug (closes #36459).
1809 * Report #19211: Wanted behaviour?

1811 * Report #10699, #45656: Todo: See #34717 ...

1813 * Report #41082: Obsoleted patches (closes: #35130, #41802).
1814 * Reports tested and still in this version (should be forwarded ...):
1815 #2301, #21901, #26619, #26720, #27090, #30460, #33900, #34833,
1817 #38804, #41916 (update docs?),
1819 * Report #47849: You *must* reset OPTIND to 1 before reusing getopts.
1820 * Report #45841: This is a POSIX.2/XPG5 requirement.
1821 * Report #35979, #45379: set -e works on simple commands only.
1822 (command) is not a simple command.
1823 * Report #38244: -x and -v and all of the rest of the options are documented
1824 in the `set' builtin section. The OPTIONS section of the man page refers
1826 * Report #37654: When in a pipeline, `tty' prints `not a tty'. This is why
1827 grep is looking for `not' in file `a'. Try `w | echo $(tty)'.
1828 * Report #33822: This is a locale problem. The de_DE locale gives lower case
1829 and upper case letters the same collating weight. POSIX.2 warns that
1830 range expressions are not portable across locales.
1831 * Report #28789, #22291: resizing xterm bash doesn' t update window limits.
1832 Use `shopt -s checkwinsize'. (closes: #28789, #22291).
1833 * Report #39728: Suggestion to add something to /etc/skel files. A matter
1834 of taste. Added comments where to find `fancy' startup files.
