Package: posh Version: 0.5.3 Severity: normal posh shares the following POSIX compliance bug with pdksh, quoting: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Shellology.html#index-g_t_0040samp_007bpdksh_007d-1173
| Unfortunately, with pdksh 5.2.14 (the latest stable version as of | February 2006) Posix mode is buggy and causes pdksh to depart from Posix | in at least one respect: | | $ echo "`echo \"hello\"`" | hello | $ set -o posix | $ echo "`echo \"hello\"`" | "hello" | | | The last line of output contains spurious quotes. This is yet another | reason why portable shell code should not contain "`...\"...\"...`" | constructs [...] posh gives the same wrong output as in the last line of the example. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages posh depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.8 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries posh recommends no packages. -- debconf information: posh/sh: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
