Package: bash Version: 3.2-2 Severity: normal Hello,
After the latest sid upgrade of bash, I experienced the same bug as reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/160405 I had the following in my ~/.bashrc, redundant, but probably there for already quite some time :-). if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then source /etc/bash_completion fi In /etc/bash.bashrc, the same piece of code was uncommented, making it to be loaded twice. When /etc/bash_profile is loaded in both /etc/bash.bashrc and in ~/.bashrc, the ~/.bashrc file will fail to load, without any notice. A way to solve the problem is provided here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430501, but this has to be placed not only in the /etc/bash.bashrc, but in the every instance (so in fact also ~/.bashrc). Probably it would also be useful to have a warning that something is happening (eg "failed to load .bashrc", "attempt to load /etc/bash_completion twice, failure",...), or a notice in the NEWS.Debian, README.Debian whatever file. I think an alternative and better solution would be to include the following in /etc/bash_completion if [ -z "$BASH_COMPLETION" ] <current /etc/bash_completion> fi Let me know if you need more information.
