Package: switchsh Version: 0~20070801-3.1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Debian now uses a symlink for /bin/sh, and unless the local administrator overrides this, that makes switchsh totally non-functional. When attempting to bind mount over a symlink, the symlink gets resolved. Thus when switchsh attempts to bind mount /bin/bash over /bin/sh, it really ends up bind mounting /bin/bash over whatever /bin/sh points to. Since /bin/sh still points to that, it has the overall desired effect, but it's not really doing what was intended. Also, any script that might explicitly have attempted to use whatever interpreter /bin/sh links to, will now get bash instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages switchsh depends on: ii libc6 2.19-11 switchsh recommends no packages. switchsh suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
