I see that glibc depends on static-bash as an input, but why would
installing glibc cause me to have a static bash in my profile?
Is it because the glibc package installs bash to its $bindir, or because
the input is being propagated correctly, or because the input is being
propagated incorrectly?
I read through the linked mail a few times but if the answer is there, I
missed it.
The circular dep issue sounds pretty exciting but it seems like there
might be another bug here. Dunno. I wonder how Nix deals with this.
