Follow-up Comment #4, bug #56832 (project findutils): The question is if this is a test failure (in the case the tests are run with a broken shell), or (also?) a problem which can happen in updatedb (when /bin/sh is broken).
IMO we shouldn't care too much about broken (and ancient!) shells - as you said already (it's reasonable to expect "echo" to work") -, and only prevent the test from resulting in a FP. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56832> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
