Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.5-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
have a look at this:
[n...@noname:~$] sudo su -
[r...@noname:~#] exit
[n...@noname:~$] sudo su -
[r...@noname:~#] chown nion:nion .zsh_history
[r...@noname:~#] exit
zsh: failed to write history file /root/.zsh_history: no such file or directory
[n...@noname:~$] file /root/.zsh_history
/root/.zsh_history: shell archive or script for antique kernel text
The error message is somehow confusing since the file is there but has wrong
permissions.
Kind regards
Nico

The history is written as expected, there is no warning
though, which I will write to the mailing list.
