Package: bash
Version: 3.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When in 'vi' mode, the 'v' command (which normally pops you into vi with
the current command line) breaks, with a syntax error.
The problem is a typo in the patch for the VI_EDIT_COMMAND fc... an
extra ')'
The attached patch is to the diff file (the only place I can find the
bug).
To reproduce:
set -x
set -o vi
[esc]v
produces:
+++ command -v editor
++ fc -e '/usr/bin/editor)'
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
