Thanks for reporting. Exporting SHELL form /etc/profile was suppossed to add functionality, not to break anything :-/ Anyway, since base-files doesn't know if your shell is /bin/bash, or /usr/local/bin/bash or any other, I think I have to remove it from /etc/profile. Will be fixed in base-files-4.0-8 Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Huella de clave primaria: AD8F BDC0 5A2C FD5F A179 60E7 F79B AB04 5299 EC56
