[Bug 1683576] Re: cd with multiple directory argument fails

[Quigi]

This is still broken in Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS / GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release
and in Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS / GNU bash, version 5.0.17(1)-release.

The manual pages for Bash 4.2, Bash 4.4 and Bash 5.0 all specify "Any
additional  arguments  following dir are ignored.  (Only bash 4.2 works
correctly.)

This is a bug.

Title:
  cd with multiple directory argument fails

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In bash 4.4, a new behaviour was introduced for cd, where it would complain if multiple arguments are provided. From config-top.h [1]:
   
  /* Define CD_COMPLAINS if you want the non-standard, but sometimes-desired
     error messages about multiple directory arguments to `cd'. */
  #define CD_COMPLAINS

  It seems like this is enabled for Ubuntu. However, this behaviour
  conflicts with the manual (both Ubuntu's and GNU's), which says
  something similar to: "Any additional arguments following directory
  are ignored."

  Please revert to the old behaviour, or correct the manual. This is not
  a user-configurable setting, and push is also affected.

  Ubuntu 17.04
  bash 4.4-2ubuntu1
