Public bug reported:
Commands that accept input from stdin are not found, when preceded by a
pipe *and* a space("| "). e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo foo | less
bash: less: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo foo |less
foo
<press up arrow to get to previous command and add a space>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo foo | less
foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
<manually write the entire command line again>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo foo | less
bash: less: command not found
This happens at least on bash, zsh and tcsh. Affected commands are at
least less, cat, grep, nc.
My system is an as of 2008-01-16 06:10 UTC up-to-date Hardy.
The problem appeared when I rebooted at 2008-01-16 03:08 UTC following update
because it included a kernel upgrade.
If I understand syslog correctly, previous boot had been at 2008-01-14 00:38
UTC, following updates, so it would appear that whatever broke, broke during
this interval.
