Intentional temporary regression: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug- bash/2014-09/msg00256.html
Sounds like an upstream fix will be forthcoming. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bash in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376688 Title: Punctuation-only functions give error messages in subshells Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have Bash functions defined with punctuation-only names, such as - and .., which now give errors when starting nested shells. After a recent Shellshock patch, env shows these functions as having names like BASH_FUNC_-(), and starting a second Bash in some way, such as running a shell script, yields error messages like: bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_-' With a double-nested Bash, each error message is displayed twice. So far as I can tell the error message is spurious: the action function - is being imported correctly. But it's irritating to have the terminal clogged up with these messages, especially when just running utilities which I didn't even know were written in Bash. This is with bash 4.3-7ubuntu1.4.
