--- Begin Message ---Package: dash Version: 0.5.2-8 Severity: normal Dash doesn't correctly handle code where a second variable is assigned in a single statement. For example, this works with bash. $ /bin/bash -c 'K=dvb0.net0 A=${K#dvb} ; echo $A' 0.net0 Here is the same line with dash. $ /bin/dash -c 'K=dvb0.net0 A=${K#dvb} ; echo $A' <empty line> Inserting semicolons fixes the second assignment. $ /bin/dash -c 'K=dvb0.net0 ; A=${K#dvb} ; echo $A' 0.net0 My best guess is that this is a bug in dash. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers breezy APT policy: (500, 'breezy'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dash depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an dash recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * dash/sh: true
