Package: bash Version: 4.0-7 Severity: normal
Bash (no longer) parses correctly a mix of $(), here documents and pipes (I could not narrow it down). Take an innocent script $ cat test.sh echo $(cat << EOF | wc -l 1 2 3 EOF ) This yields a parsing error: $ bash test.sh test.sh: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)' test.sh: line 7: syntax error: unexpected end of file (Notice that dash succeeds as hoped) $ dash test.sh 3 Stranger: if the path is given for the command after the pipe, this succeeds. $ cat test2.sh echo $(cat << EOF | /usr/bin/wc -l 1 2 3 EOF ) $ bash test2.sh 3 Best regards Samuel Hym -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5.0.0 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii dash 0.5.5.1-3 POSIX-compliant shell ii debianutils 3.2.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.9-27 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:1.1-1 programmable completion for the ba Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
