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.
