Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
This is what happens when I try some bash commands on two different
systems, Etch and Slackware 10.1.
--- Etch machine ---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fn=debian
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo ${fn##[A-Z]*}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
--- End Etch machine ---
--- Slackware machine ---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.15(2)-release (i486-slackware-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fn=debian
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo ${fn##[A-Z]*}
debian
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
--- End Slackware machine ---
According to manual, Slackware does it correctly, and Etch not. I also
tried on Sarge i386 system and it behaves same as Etch, so the problem
is obviously due to some Debian specific patch, and is not architecture
related.
