Comment 1 for bug 1824438

What problem did you experience at the first place? What's your goal when you execute the mentioned command?

vte-2.91.sh was written for bash and zsh. You execute it with sh (dash). Due to -n, the commands are not executed and thus it skips the bash/zsh check and continues. Then it fails on a bash/zsh specific syntax.

This script is not meant to be executed manually, especially not with -n. As such, I see no problem whatsoever.

I find it pretty unlikely.
