Public bug reported:
Proposing to apply the four upstream changes to the bash package for
xenial, plus the addition to the PATH variable.
* Apply upstream patches 043 - 046. Fixes:
- When the lastpipe option is enabled, the last component can contain
nested pipelines and cause a segmentation fault under
certain circumstances.
- A typo prevents the `compat42' shopt option from working as intended.
- If a file open attempted as part of a redirection fails because it is
interrupted by a signal, the shell needs to process any pending traps
to allow the redirection to be canceled.
- An incorrect conversion from an indexed to associative array can result
in a core dump.
* Add $HOME/.local/bin to PATH, and add the user's home directories
unconditionally to the path, so that they are available without
a new login. Closes: #820856, LP: #1588562.
The rationale for the PATH change is explained in LP: #1588562.
Verification: The package builds, passes it's tests, and for new users
you'll find $HOME/.local/bin in PATH.
