Package: dash Version: 0.5.10.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #501566 Dear Maintainer,
Hi, I'm afraid the patch for this bug https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dash/dash.git/commit/?id=6adc14a0d4e4a25eb2df8110672c84f393b45acb actually reversed the two descriptions (and added some stray words). Currently, the man page reads: > [n1]<&n2 Copy file descriptor n2 as stdout (or fd n1). fd n2. > [n]<&- Close standard input (or n). > [n1]>&n2 Copy file descriptor n2 as stdin (or fd n1). fd n2. This reverses the two <& descriptions, and adds "fd n2" in error. I think my included patch should fix this. Thanks for all your generous work, d. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dash depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.6 ii dpkg 1.19.2 ii libc6 2.27-6 dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * dash/sh: true
