Package: mksh Version: 50b-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The $RANDOM variable should not be exported: it's useless, and it may fool scripts that try to detect if the shell provides it. $SHELL -c '/usr/bin/env|grep RANDOM' does the right thing in (at least) bash, busybox, zsh, while in mksh it prints the value of $RANDOM at the time /usr/bin/env was run. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mksh depends on: ii libc6 2.19-10 mksh recommends no packages.
