I was unable to recreate this using bash version 3.2-5ubuntu2 on karmic. I used both 'ignoreboth' and 'ignoredups' as values for HISTCONTROL. Notice that 'ignoredups' does not have a 2nd 'e' in it.
** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- ignoredupes in HISTCONTROL does not work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
