severity 394275 serious tags 394275 + patch thanks According to #357260, the reference manual was removed because it is non-free (GFDL with cover texts). No response for the request for a bash-doc-nonfree (or similar) package.
In addition, the file '/usr/share/doc-base/bashref' is still shipped by this package, which registers the non-existent reference manual with doc-base. Also, the postinst script still calls install-info to register the bashref info file. I'm bumping the severity so that we don't release with this bug. Hopefully someone can do an upload with the attached patch. I'll also create the bash-doc-nonfree if someone will sponsor it. -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
