[Bug 272994] Re: zsh-beta not in /etc/shells (affects face browser and chsh)

[Nathan Collins]

I don't think this is fixed: when zsh (non -beta) is installed along
with zsh-beta there is no way to select zsh-beta with chsh.

I purged zsh-beta (I did not have zsh installed) and there were no zsh
related entries in /etc/shells.  Then I installed zsh-beta, and /bin/zsh
was added to /etc/shells, and /bin/zsh pointed to zsh-beta through the
alternatives system.  Then I installed zsh, and /usr/bin/zsh was added
to /etc/shells.  But now /bin/zsh and /usr/bin/zsh both pointed to zsh4
through the alternatives system.  So chsh can't be used to select zsh-
beta on a system with both zsh and zsh-beta installed.  I did not check
if the face browser still needs the user's shell to be in /etc/shells,
but in any case I think the right solution is to add zsh-beta to
/etc/shells.

Thanks.
