Package: util-linux
Version: 2.29.2-1
Severity: normal

When I run $(arch) at the command-line (which expands to x86_64 on my system)
I then can't run apt-get.  Below is what happens, the Abort is immediately
after running apt-get without me entering anything on the terminal.

This was particularly confusing as I didn't realise that I had even run it,
I had accidentally pasted $(arch) into the terminal and not realised that it
had launched a shell with different capabilities.
