Xen devel - Jun 2010 - Issue with changeset 21295 (Add basic bash completion for xl command)?

Greetings,

  I downloaded xen-unstable last Thursday (May 27) and installed it on
my machine.  Since then, I have been unable to boot the machine (except
into recovery mode).  When logging into the machine, I receive the
following error message in the ~/.xsession-errors file:

 

/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

/etc/profile.d/xl.sh: 9: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting
"}")

 

  This appears to be related to the patch made to add basic bash
completion for xl command (changesets 21253, 21284 & 21295).

 

  Any suggestions to resolving this issue would be appreciated.

 

  Thank you,

If you delete that file (/etc/profile.d/xl.sh) you should at least be
able to log in again.

Yes, thank you, I did that and was able to log in again.  I am wondering
if the error is due to the fact that the "xl.sh" script uses
bash-specific syntax or commands, but Xsession is running dash instead?
Should "xl.sh" check to see if the interpreting shell is bash before
executing them?

Thank you,

Certainly it shouldn''t be installed in /etc/profile.d unless it does
do such a check.

Looking at the content of xl.sh I''d say it ought to be installing
itself
to /etc/bash_completion.d/ anyway.
