Bug Description

Binary package hint: bash

There have been 8 bugfix patches made available by upstream.

I've added them to debian/patches (and to the list of patches to apply in debian/rules).

I think it makes a lot of sense to include these for Gutsy.

  * Support safe-upgrade and full-upgrade in aptitude auto completion.
    (Benjamin Rubin). LP: #128575.

  [ Daniel Hahler]
  * Apply upstream patches 018 - 025 (LP: #147946), fixes for:
    - 018: Fix losing saved status of a background job and fix
      infinite loop after creating and waiting for 4096 jobs.
    - 019: Properly report error status when rl_read_key returns -1,
      fixes cause of input loops.
    - 020: Fix state consistency in some cases of error processing,
      when jumping back to the top-level processing loop from
      a builtin command.
    - 021: When the parser read a backslash-escaped character that would
      be treated internally as an escape, it would double the number
      of escape characters.
    - 022: POSIX specifies that the `read' builtin invoked from an interative
      shell must prompt with $PS2 when a line is continued using a backslash
      while reading from a terminal.
    - 023: When an error occurs during the pattern removal word expansion,
      the shell can free unallocated memory or free memory multiple times.
    - 024: Fix calculation of screen position when performing a redisplay in
      which the new text uses more space, but fewer bytes.
    - 025: Fix dropping each 511th character of buffered input, e.g. when
      pasting a large amount of data.
