Hide Forgot
The same like in bug 60870. The shell should report the real reason. Steps to Reproduce: 1.echo 'int main () { return 0; }' > u.c 2.gcc -o u u.c -Wl,-dynamic-linker,/foo/bar/baz 3../u
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Has this been reported upstream? What is the status of this?
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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 19 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.
This is still happening.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
Here is my analysis of this issue: u is compiled against the dynamic loader "/foo/bar/baz" which does not exists. Here is how dash and bash deal differently with them 1. dash When run in dash, "./u" is passed to execve(). Since execve() could not find the loader, it bails and dash prints an error (which may not appear to be all that user-friendly) which says "./u: not found" 2. bash Bash does a similar thing at first. Once execve() fails, it however opens the binary file, extracts the ELF header and tries to figure out what is wrong. It then tells us the loader is bad and prints an error "/foo/bar/baz: bad ELF interpreter" So i dont think this is a bug in dash, maybe we could do with a better error message, but the problem is that the error message is determined from errno, which itself does not tell us what the "real" problem is.
