Confirmed. The problem is that the /bin/sh symlink to bash got replaced by dash for performance reasons. To resolve the bug, just edit /usr/lib/texmacs/TeXmacs/bin/maxima_detect and change to first line to #!/bin/bash
This possibly affects all scripts in /usr/lib/texmacs/TeXmacs/bin/ Could the package maintainer please fix the package and push the patches upstream. If a script is not compatible with sh (uses bash specific features) it has to point to /bin/bash. Therefore this is not a bug in Debian/Ubuntu, but rather an upstream problem. -- Can't init Maxima session within TeXmacs https://launchpad.net/bugs/58498 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
