Package: bash
Version: 3.1-4
Severity: normal
If you delete an executable on bash's PATH, it keeps looking for it
there anyway and then complains:
$ mkdir /tmp/bin /tmp/binbin
$ touch /tmp/{bin,binbin}/x
$ chmod +x /tmp/{bin,binbin}/x
$ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/tmp/bin:/tmp/binbin
$ which x
/tmp/bin/x
(the above is correct)
$ x
(now delete it:)
$ rm /tmp/bin/x
$ which x
/tmp/binbin/x
(the above is correct)
$ x
bash: /tmp/bin/x: No such file or directory
whereas it should run /tmp/binbin/x (esp. since 'which' knows about
it!).
