Package: base-files
Version: 7.1
Severity: normal
Typing "sudo su - " reports:
-su: [: f: unary operator expected
A different variation of the same problem affects squeeze as well, this time
with error:
-su: /root/.bashrc: line 20: syntax error: unexpected end of file
The cause of these errors is the if function at the end of the file
/root/.bashrc.
wheezy:
if [ ! f $USER ]
then
/usr/bin/mesg n
fi
squeeze (not 100% sure, copied from memory):
if [ ! -f $USER ]\nthen /usr/bin/mesg n\nfi
Differences between the two: before $USER notice the f and -f, squeeze all on
same line.
Commenting these lines fixes the reported error.
