"bash" package overwrites user's .bashrc

Hi,

I just upgraded my packages. Bash was already my default shell, but when asked if I wanted to make it the default I said yes (go figure). Then my .bashrc was overwrote by the default one...

I guess there should be a noclobber option added to the cp command that "installs" .bashrc files (mmmh, I've just seen busybox cp has no -n option, so a test would be required). Or don't install any .bashrc ? I think bash is supposed to source /etc/bashrc if there's no user .bashrc .

Cheers

Re: "bash" package overwrites user's .bashrc

Hi llev,

This behavior is the part of installation script:

I think we should add one condition to not to create/overwrite .bashrc if it already exists.

Thank you for reporting!
