https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479910 Summary: bash builtin pwd results outdated value Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: werner@novell.com ReportedBy: jsmeix@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: jw@novell.com Found By: Development The bash builtin pwd results the outdated (wrong) value when the working directory name was changed "from outside" but /bin/pwd results always the currently right value. How to reproduce: user1@host$ mkdir /tmp/foo user2@host$ cd /tmp/foo user2@host$ pwd /tmp/foo user1@host$ mv /tmp/foo /tmp/bar user2@host$ pwd /tmp/foo user2@host$ /bin/pwd /tmp/bar As far as I remember this issue exists "since ever" so that there is perhaps a special reason why it is no bug but intentionally in the bash but then I would not understand why the bash builtin pwd and /bin/pwd differ. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
