I had reported a bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063905 but Thorsten closed it because |The OP’s $SHELL should not be set to /usr/bin/bash as that |value is not in /etc/shells and not its canonical path in |the first place. (The issue was initially detected with bash, which gave bug 817168.) But having a requirement on what pathnames $SHELL may contain (in the case a same shell can be referenced by several pathnames, e.g. due to the /bin -> /usr/bin symbolic link) is not acceptable. Hence my post about this. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
