|Bletch. Yet another bug in the Debian Almquist shell, which has been
|the source of other problems:
|
| nr@homedog ~/n/s-nail> ksh -c 'command -v clang'
| /usr/bin/clang
| nr@homedog ~/n/s-nail> bash -c 'command -v clang'
| /usr/bin/clang
| nr@homedog ~/n/s-nail> sh -c 'command -v clang'
| /home/nr/bin/clang
| nr@homedog ~/n/s-nail> dash -c 'command -v clang'
| /home/nr/bin/clang
| nr@homedog ~/n/s-nail> fish -c 'command -v clang'
| /usr/bin/clang
|

After Ralph's intervention i was able to reproduce this, and have
changed all use cases to a hand-written thing, namely
thecmd() {
fail=${1} pname=${2}
oifs=${IFS} IFS=:
set -- ${PATH}
IFS=${oifs}
for path
do
if [ -x "${path}/${pname}" ]; then
echo "${path}/${pname}"
return 0
fi
done
[ ${fail} -eq 0 ] && return 1
msg 'ERROR: no trace of utility '"${pname}"
exit 1
}
It will be in v14.9.4, hopefully this week.
Thanks again for reporting this, i am used to mksh!
Ciao,
