Description Jason 2004-09-23 21:56:17 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914
Firefox/0.10

Description of problem:
at the bash prompt when I am at /root the prompt shows
[root@pc4331 ~]#
if I cd to / then I see
[root@pc4331 /]#
if I cd to /usr/local I see
[root@pc4331 local]#

I should see 
[root@pc4331 root]# when I am in /root

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0-14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto a prompt
2. cd /root
3.
    

Actual Results:  I see [root@pc4331 ~]#

Expected Results:  I should see [root@pc4331 root]#

Additional info:

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2004-09-24 04:10:41 EDT

This is expected behaviour when HOME=/root.

Comment 2 Jason 2004-09-24 17:10:54 EDT

Why was the change made?

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2004-09-27 04:13:04 EDT

This comes from the unpatched package upstream.  I think it's new
behaviour to bash 3.
