Comment 6 for bug 119938

This bug was fixed in the package bash - 3.2-0ubuntu12

---------------
bash (3.2-0ubuntu12) hardy; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patches 026 - 033. Fixes for:
    - Keep the Apple linker from attempting to link bash against Apple's
      readline library "replacement" rather than the one shipped with bash.
    - When updating the display after displaying, for instance, a list
      of possible completions, readline will place the cursor at the wrong
      position if the prompt contains invisible characters and a newline.
      LP: #119938.
    - Under some circumstances, readline will incorrectly display a prompt
      string containing invisible characters after the final newline.
    - When the bash arithmetic expression evaluator has temporarily turned off
      evalation, such as when parsing a pre- or post-decrement or -increment
      operator, and an error occurs, evaluation is not re-enabled.
    - If redirections attached to a compound command fail, bash does not set
      the command's exit status correctly. This only happens when the command
      is the first in a sequential list.
    - In certain cases when outputting characters at the end of the line, e.g.,
      when displaying the prompt string, readline positions the cursor
      incorrectly if the prompt string contains invisible characters and the
      text being drawn begins before the last invisible character in the line.
    - There is an off-by-one error in the code that buffers characters
      received very quickly in succession, causing characters to be dropped.
    - References made within a function to an uninitialized local array
      variable using the [*] subscript in a double-quoted string can result
      in spurious ASCII 127 characters in the expanded value.
  * Remove bash-completion from the source.
  * Remove the conflict with bash-completion, recommend bash-completion.
  * debian/skel.bashrc: Check for dircolors before using it. LP: #121992.
  * Include correct bash.pot file. LP: #104261.
