dash, the package that this issue was reported against, is a POSIX- compliant shell similar to bash. Presumably this issue was reported against 'dash' in error. 'unity' would probably have been the correct package.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021. I'm closing this report as 'Invalid'. If the reported problem is still an issue using a currently supported release of Ubuntu then please open a new bug report against the Unity package. ** Changed in: dash (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dash in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582672 Title: Typing q in dash will close it Status in dash package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I wanted to search for SQL-Workbench.
