Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-8 Severity: minor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I believe the help page for "for" has a punctuation error. The invocation syntax in the first line says the following: for: for NAME [in WORDS ... ;] do COMMANDS; done However, I believe it should read: for: for NAME [in WORDS ...] ; do COMMANDS; done Note the placement of the semicolon after the WORDS directive. This change would bring the help in-line with how 'for' is described in the bash man page. Sorry I'm not applying a patch, but I'm not sure where these help descriptions are stored. Thanks so much for maintaining such an important package. jamie. - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 4.0.0 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.23.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20070812-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBRtgDa+00zqvie6q8AQIAGw//RoocDElUaR5gln/eOxLbyGditI2mIDkH WVInM7/GDXDfAlzFF3M5tZ2TeGRTzZN7YWnpWJ0W1h3KXMe4Aoiq56ah8yiAAw1Z CidESBF5ES5kLhnLBm2nXYq5qFJ3KEmv2P7SWyfGzL4+MRaXGvPgcO4eu34trw6m 5t1dpNIKYc6K19n0Dax3i+YxcN+ATQ9rK5U1VVi1LhHPT12kSJh3kLbcO7Q1aon4 6JNr//T/YjQugmsU7dMozbAf1FGdhqZAU1kMVO+lAege8wt4T1DlIyb0Ej4otX3Q S3HQ328OJzPrb5jRsQqcVYrKcF7TTl72+BpxYG1kcNSESAejJzVMiQElnxM3XKI9 0edxxni8o+XHUPnz99e3FBvp3V7TDDL4J1uZAPMT1oq4fiQzVcyyVa0fTKRXfoFB BbjIljyF7CnC+Xm0Wmpcx/lzjlf1l7rx46wefnT2d2mGBFW2VuTWkDx+THNB93+L v+2hon4srl2/pQ4Ke7CwmKgEuKAgJvcPf5WxUiwjPEDizNVkeQofu1bmfbQQar/s 3TD78Hsi6NW4a/OfH7VHxArVfvDxdwX1loW0MowCN+mIzw3liZhcD9/pZ6lQY1S3 x9kfmE+/ZvcTqUQpNWEnMQfqik2jJSb4YFZ4GN3pXuZV+F/e6GXKczZWKmKTy1Nc Fi4uN37MuCo= =D9xo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
