I know. The update was supposed to add a detection mechanism that chooses between `$` and `#` based on the "Administrator" status of the process. Unfortunately, we didn't solve how to get the required `getent` package to users before pushing the `filesystem` package update. I pushed a fix (Alexey will have to build and upload) that will at least disable the function when `getent` isn't available, but the goal should be to improve our update process so that everyone gets new packages in `base`. -- David Macek
