An undefined feature would behave like this: dash$ nosuch y=$x dash: nosuch: not found
not like this: dash$ local y=$x local: 2: bad variable name The dash shell is attempting to implement "local", and it's broken. If "local" isn't part of POSIX, and dash is supposed to be POSIX, then removing "local" completely from dash would be fine. Implementing "local" incorrectly is not fine. Non-POSIX words should generate "command not found", not a shell parsing error. -- dash 0.5.3-5ubuntu2 variable expansion error using local https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139097 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
