Is it because the glibc package installs bash to its $bindir, or because the input is being propagated correctly, or because the input is being propagated incorrectly? I read through the linked mail a few times but if the answer is there, I missed it. The circular dep issue sounds pretty exciting but it seems like there might be another bug here. Dunno. I wonder how Nix deals with this. Andy
