Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ipython
The shell profile in ipython is not working properly. Using apt-cache or
apt-get fails with different errors, presumably because ipython
interprets the dash in the middle of the command as a minus operator.
To reproduce:
~$ ipython -p sh
Py 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar 7 2008, 04:10:12) IPy 0.8.1
[~]|1> apt-cache search ipython
------------------------------------------------------------
File "<ipython console>", line 1
apt-cache search ipython
^
<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: invalid syntax
[~]|2> lsb_release -rd
IPython system call: lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 7.10
Release: 7.10
~$ apt-cache policy ipython
ipython:
Installed: 0.8.1-1
Candidate: 0.8.1-1
Version table:
*** 0.8.1-1 0
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
In the shell mode, ipython should be able to start all system commands
(it does tab-complete to it, making it even more weird).
