Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-2.3
Severity: normal

when using dash's test builtin, it behaves differently than bash's builtin or
/usr/bin/test. i don't know if this is a known dash-ism, proper POSIX behavior,
or otherwise intentional.

on a read-only root filesystem over NFS: in dash, test -w "/",  returns true,
in bash, the same returns false. using /usr/bin/test also returns false. 

the mount command seems to list "/" as rw, although in actuality the NFS server
does not allow writes on the export. i don't know how bash and /usr/bin/test
figure out that it is actually writeable or not, but clearly it's different
than dash's test builtin.

live well,
  vagrant
