Bug#809646: New xterm deletes content of SHELL environment
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Package: xterm
Version: 321-1
Severity: important
Today I installed the newest version of xterm. After that, most of the
stuff in my terminal was not working anymore. (For that I would like to
set the bug severity to even grave as many of my stuff, even unrelated
stuff is not working anymore.)
I found out very fast that the new xterm clears the environment variable
$SHELL. But many things on unix depends on that variable!
After downgrading to 320-1 I was back online and could write this
bugreport.
So please take out version 321-1 as fast as possible unless it does more
harm! This version is broken to a way to make it unusable!
