• Bug#1104049: bash-completion: bashism in /etc/profile.d/ snippet

    From Thorsten Glaser@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 26 06:40:01 2025
    Dixi quod:

    Justification: Policy 10.4

    Policy has an extra requirement on top of POSIX that -a is supported,
    but /etc/profile can be read by shells not suitable for /bin/sh in
    Debian, so a fix would still be appreciated, but I don’t insist on rc severity.

    bye,

    Hi, Thorsten,

    Thanks for your bug report, patch, and for the justification.

    I would like to use your suggested patch, but I would like to defer it
    until the release of trixie. While I don't anticipate issues, it would
    be better to have it tested at the early stages of forky.

    I'll decrease the severity level to non RC.
