I do wonder if a version of Bash 3.1 should be included as an option in the distro. The change was unexpected and enough to hurt me at least one script that I wrote, and may be the cause of problems I've hard with an install script from a third party which kept insisting that I did not have prereqs installed which I did (it was paring the output of --version calls).
I suspect this is affecting a few people who run Ubuntu server. There should at least be an option for them to downgrade to an earlier version of bash to lessen the burden. -- Feisty Release Notes should note upgrade to Bash 3.2 changes regex syntax https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
