Hmm I think you're right; in most other parts of that text it says 'bash reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist.'
but that section does have ~/.bashrc twice. It doesn't seem to be upstream bash, but seems to be in the debian/ubuntu man-bashrc.diff patch. ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1216969 Title: man page names the same file twice -- are there really 2?
