Bug 60929 – current stable baselayout needs newer bash for color prompt

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Steve Arnold 2004-08-19 13:08:10 UTC]

The new system profile and bashrc rely on a newer bash with /etc/bash/bashrc to 
colorize the prompt (ie, PS1).  The current bash doesn't have the /etc/bash 
directory at all, so no more color prompt, unless the custom prompt is added 
back manually.

Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned my system info:

I've unmasked several ~x86 things as well, but I always run x86 in make.conf, 
althouth events may have overtaken some of these (some of them are just to 
keep portage happy for system/world emerges):

Have you run etc-update to update any config files?

Also, could you post your /etc/profile here?

I don't seem to be having a problem with baselayout-1.9.4-r3 and bash-2.05b-r9.

What versions of bash and baselayout do you have?

yeah, your mixing & matching of stable / unstable triggered this
