Description Elliott Forney 2011-02-16 16:29:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
With Korn Shell, sourcing /etc/kshrc throws errors when calling /etc/profile.d/elektra-elektraenv.sh if Elektra is installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
elektra-0.7.0-3

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install Elektra

2.  Start Korn Shell
  ksh

3.  Source /etc/kshrc if your .kshrc doesn't already do this.  It is in /etc/skel/.kshrc by default.
  . /etc/kshrc
  
Actual results:
$ . /etc/kshrc
ksh: .[17]: .[46]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
ksh: .[17]: .[47]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
ksh: .[17]: .[48]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
ksh: .[17]: .[46]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
ksh: .[17]: .[47]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
ksh: .[17]: .[48]: local: not found [No such file or directory]

Expected results:
Clean ksh startup.

Additional info:
The "local" keyword is bash specific and includes in /etc/profile.d/*.sh should be Bourne Shell compliant.  Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any way to declare local variables that is universal to all Bourne-like Shells.  The best solution is probably to avoid them.
Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2011-02-16 16:46:16 UTC 
Can you suggest a patch that will either conditionalize or remove the local command and that work for your case ?
