Hi Scott,

thanks for answering! I actually thought of that a bit after my sending the 
post, but then, when I'm still in the shell session I used:

root at jjod600n:/var/lib/dpkg/info# echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

...and then remembered that wasn't bash still the default login shell in 
Edgy, too? The whole mess would make sense, if I hadn't tried them in a 
login shell, don't you agree? Of course, I might be way off here, so please 
feel free to bash me. (yes, pun intended) :)
