I recently switched to debian 1.31 (from a homebrew system based loosely on slackware), and with it came bash 2.x, which I had been avoiding for irrational reasons - or maybe not. I installed Netscape Communicator 4.04 and the Real Audio player (v5.02beta, the latest), and followed the directions in the readme for adding rvplayer as a helper app. But now, when I actually try to play something, I get an error dialog from Netscape that says:
sh: -c line 1: missing closing `)' for arthmetic expression sh: -1 line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;' sh: -c line 1: `((/usr/local/bin/rvplayer /tmp/MO34B2F4B209B0136.ram); rm /tmp/MO34B2F4B209B0136.ram )&' I've established that Communicator always fires off helper apps using similar syntax by invoking /bin/sh. My question is, if I were to replace /bin/sh (which is a symlink to /bin/bash) with something else (ash, or an older version of bash, for example), will it break anything debian-wise? I realize that it might break other things that expect /bin/sh to really be bash, but frankly, such things probably deserve it for making that assumption. - Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
