G'day,
For some reason bash-2.05a-2 does not
export the SHELL environment variable. If you type "echo $SHELL" you get the
right response of "/bin/bash", however, if you type "env | grep SHELL" the
variable is not to be seen. bash-2.05-8 seems to be working correctly though
and I have moved back to this version.
I first noticed it when I ran KDE's kvt.
For some reason it was using a Bourne shell and not a Bash shell. I checked
the environment for the SHELL variable and it was not there. I manually set
"export SHELL=/bin/bash" and ran kvt again and it ran correctly with a Bash
shell.
Have Fun !!
