I don't think that you can claim that it's "an assumption that Ubuntu used to make". It's a practice Ubuntu used to follow, but that doesn't mean it's safe for users to assume it's the practice that will always be followed.
I'm not sure what you want to be done, though. As long as dash is being used as the system shell, it'd be a really bad thing for dash scripts to source .bashrc or .bash_profile, as those things are very likely to include bash-specific (i.e., non-portable) code. Since the decision to use dash as the system shell has already been made, I don't think there's anything that can be done except to correct user assumptions and use more portable init files instead of .bashrc/.bash_profile. -- .bash_profile is not sources when X session starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66004 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
