Public bug reported: Proposing to apply the four upstream changes to the bash package for xenial, plus the addition to the PATH variable.
* Apply upstream patches 043 - 046. Fixes: - When the lastpipe option is enabled, the last component can contain nested pipelines and cause a segmentation fault under certain circumstances. - A typo prevents the `compat42' shopt option from working as intended. - If a file open attempted as part of a redirection fails because it is interrupted by a signal, the shell needs to process any pending traps to allow the redirection to be canceled. - An incorrect conversion from an indexed to associative array can result in a core dump. * Add $HOME/.local/bin to PATH, and add the user's home directories unconditionally to the path, so that they are available without a new login. Closes: #820856, LP: #1588562. The rationale for the PATH change is explained in LP: #1588562. Verification: The package builds, passes it's tests, and for new users you'll find $HOME/.local/bin in PATH. ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1595869 Title: SRU: apply four upstream bug fixes in bash for 16.04 LTS Status in bash package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Proposing to apply the four upstream changes to the bash package for xenial, plus the addition to the PATH variable. * Apply upstream patches 043 - 046.
