Guys,

I'm usually quite good at one-liners, but my simple ones no longer work in Arch. Same cli works fine in suse. What have I messed up? To wit:

What could keep the simple cli from working on Arch? I know this stuff worked before updates this morning... What should I look at? Bash was updated from 4.1.5(2) to 4.1.7(2). I can't reproduce it, though.

I cannot reproduce it either and suspect that your "ls" under $() is not the real ls, but an alias. I've played with some, and they indeed produce bad output. Cheers, Sergey
