Okay, that was the hint. I managed to trigger it even upon
downgrading mksh on one machine, having the man-db triggers
run. After some reducing, I’ve got:
-----BEGIN cutting here may damage your screen surface-----
#!/bin/sh -e
_db_cmd() {
return $1
}
db_input() {
_db_cmd 30
}
db_go() {
_db_cmd 0
}
db_input medium man-db/install-setuid || true
db_go
exit 0
-----END cutting here may damage your screen surface-----
This will trigger it.
Cause is: in the latest upload, I made a fix for:
mksh -ec 'bla() { [ -x /nonexistant ] && /nonexistant; }; bla'
Previous versions of mksh would not have the error exit triggered,
and this came to light in Debian which uses set -e a lot, sadly.
Apparently, the fix makes problems with nested function calls…
I’ll revisit it.
Thanks for reporting!
bye,
