Package: dash
Version: 0.5.7-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I often source scripts with generic variable definitions and/or
functions in my main scripts.
With the dash package of Wheezy my scripts all fail as the parameters do
not get to the sourced scripts.
To reproduce this error just create a simple test script via:
cat > test.sh << __EOF
echo parameter is \"\${1}\"
__EOF
Execute it on console via:
. ./test.sh "DASH test"
Results:
dash 0.5.7-3 (Wheezy): parameter is ""
bash 4.2+dfsg-0.1 (Wheezy): parameter is "DASH test"
dash 0.5.5.1-7.4 (Squeeze): parameter is "DASH test"
