Package: dash
Version: 0.5.2-5
Severity: normal
The manpage for dash 0.5.2-5 says that dash supports history, but it
doesn't.
There are many references to history in the manpage. Such as in the
folowing sections:
DESCRIPTION
Overview
Builtins
fc
fc -l
fc -s
Command Line Editing
ENVIRONMENT
TERM
HISTSIZE
None of the referenced material appliers to the version of dash packaged
for debian.
These inaccuracies make it harder to use dash as your shell, or write
scrits.

NOTE: Due to debian.org's inadequate measures to prevent email address
harvesting from bugs.debian.org, you must include "Bug#", without the
quotes, in the subject of any email that you wish to send me directly.
Automated messages sent by the emial list daemon already do this.
Thank You.
