Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash

The current .bashrc in feisty has export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups, then
has a one line comment, and then has export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth. This
is terribly confusing and unnecessary. The correct way to set this, I
believe, would be to just have HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth, which has the
effect of combining ignoredups and ignorespace. There is no point in
setting one first and then setting ignoreboth.

This was probably caused by bug #66539.

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed

-- 
/etc/skel/.bashrc sets HISTCONTROL twice in succession.
