---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006653) mirabilos (reporter) - 2024-02-13 20:10 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1806#c6653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Huh, this looks indeed like a bug introduced by 1075. Specifically, the comment by joerg, which I read as “the bourne shell first checks if the variable is readonly; if so, it errors; if not, it unsets the content and removes all attributes”, and which corresponds to my reading, was misinterpreted. And when I start a jsh to test it, I get… $ foo=bar $ export foo $ env | grep foo foo=bar $ readonly foo $ env | grep foo foo=bar $ unset foo; echo $? foo: is read only $ echo $? 1 $ env | grep foo foo=bar … which supports my reading, and calestyo’s expected behaviour.
