Description of problem: When using ksh as a login shell a profile script gives a syntax error which results in an incomplete environment. The profile script in question is /etc/profile.d/scl-init.sh which starts with: function scl() which in ksh is not supported. Deleting the word 'function' or removing the () should fix this. I also wonder what the policy is regarding 'bashisms' in these scripts, it seems only bash and zsh are supported? Otherwise there are some others which should be written more portable (trying 'dash' as a shell will show these). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : ksh Version : 20120801 Release : 35.fc26 Arch : x86_64 Size : 3.2 M Source : ksh-20120801-35.fc26.src.rpm Repo : @System From repo : updates-testing How reproducible: Install ksh and type: SHELL=/bin/ksh ksh -l Actual results: Syntax error Expected results: no syntax error
'/etc/profile.d/scl-init.sh' script belongs to scl-utils package. Moving this bug to scl-utils component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
