[opensuse] bash trouble ??profile

initiating bash in a terminal after a noticable delay provides:
<quote> bash: have: command not found

all cl invocations show this except:
bash --norc bash --noprofile --login sh
So I moved all the /etc/bash* files/directories one at a time until I localized the problem to /etc/bash.bashrc

The word "have" occurs only once there and it's in a comment. Did you verify that your system's /etc/bash.bashrc file is not corrupt?

Try launching an interactive shell (in misbehaving mode) with the "-x" option. You can see exactly what it's executing right up to (and possibly beyond) the "have" diagnostic.

tks,
Yeah, it's voluminous. Shows you how much is really going on in the shell! If you expressly invoke it as an interactive shell and redirect standard error, you can capture the execution trace: outer-shell-prompt> bash -i 2>/tmp/bash-start-log exit outer-shell-prompt> (Note that the sub-shell, while interactive, will show no prompt 'cause it uses the same stream as the error stream to print prompts.) You can optionally include --login along with -i. The distinction between the two may actually tell you something about what's going wrong. For whatever reason, if you give both --login and -i, they have to be in that order.

The "have: command not found" diagnostic occurs immediately after source-ing /etc/bash_completion.d/patool.sh. What's in that file on your system?

It seems fairly clear that the "have" invocation (attempt) originates in /etc/bash_completion.d/patool.sh.
invoking with the --login parameter gave slightly longer output but I fail to see anything in any of the files :^(
tks for the assistance.
ps: Would it be better if I made a new user with no profile/bashrc except /etc/bash.bashrc and ran the interactive capture?
Perhaps that would show less stuff to confound analysis, but since this is happening for all current users, it's not obvious that it would supply a meaningful data point.

Your next test upon finding this code here is to locate the command called "have" "which have" "type have" "whereis have" will probably return nothing, ie, "have" is neither a shell builtin, nor a defined alias, nor is there an executable in your $PATH named "have". Either find some package that installs a program called "have" or find some .rc script that is supposed to define an alias named "have", or fix the garbage script here that assumes all boxes have a command or alias named "have". In fact, in this script, it appears "have" is supposed to do something like "which", "type", or "whereis" do. You can just replace the word "have" above with the word "which". Possibly this script was written for some other (non-suse) distribution that happens to define a "have" alias or function in it's shell rc scripts. Possibly on that distro, the "have" command does more than just look for the argument in $PATH like consult the package database maybe. But for you, for now, just try using "which", and only get fancier if it turns out to be necessary. Or look for a correct opensuse package for patool which doesn't try to use commands that don't exist on opensuse. -- bkw
_patool() { local cur prev commands options command
COMPREPLY=() cur=`_get_cword`

I just understand enough to get into trouble :^) tks

Either find some package that installs a program called "have" or find some .rc script that is supposed to define an alias named "have", or fix the garbage script here that assumes all boxes have a command or alias named "have".
in *this* case, have is a function provided by /etc/bash_completion: # This function checks whether we have a given program on the system. # No need for bulky functions in memory if we don't. # have() { unset -v have PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin type $1 &>/dev/null && have="yes" } which calls a ?subscript? in /etc/bash_completion.d/patool.sh that was quoted, re: your explanation of "have/which".

Of course, but only at the expense of the completions for patool that .../patool.sh would have established.

The peculiar thing is that in the execution trace (from the -x option to bash) shows the pattern of setting and unsetting the _value_ "have" (unset -v have ... have="yes") and finally the unsetting of the function defintion have() (unset -f have). It is following this last unset that the patools script is sourced and that is why the diagnostic occurs (and, of course, the code that is predicated on the exit / return status of have() does not run and the patools completions are not established). The other possible clue is that the amount of trace between the many iterations of the { unset -v have ... have="yes" } cycle is much smaller (on the order of 10) than that between the { unset -f have } and the diagnostic for "have: command not found" (nearly 300), suggesting that the patools completion set-up script is being executed in the wrong place.
But I will make a bug report to bugzilla.novell.com against bash-completion and cite patool package
