ksh version 2020 vs 93u

Asked by Minx Ab

The ksh 2020 branch is abandoned and have some bad bugs.

Find it unfortunate that Ubuntu 20 LTS has this as default package.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ksh

It breaks systems and manifest both reported and unreported bugs.

Is it possible to change this to the 93u like other versions?

If of interest:

https://github.com/ksh93/ksh

is an active fork used to develop bugfixes to the last stable release (93u+ 2012-08-01).

There is already a bug report Bug #1918017
I suggest that you mark it as "affects me" and continue there.
