Issue ID: 21059
Summary: install.sh: posix_terminal returns false on Linux Mint
20
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dlang.org
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com

I just upgraded a machine to Linux Mint 20 on a fresh install and tried to run
the install script. It fails with
main: line 178: USERPROFILE: unbound variable
This line should only be called on Windows, which I found strange. It turns out
that this is driven by
```
posix_terminal() {
# If this script is run on Windows cmd by passing it as argument to
bash.exe,
# the shell level will be 1. If it is run from a POSIX terminal, it will be
> 1.
if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then
false
else
true
fi
}
```
Running `echo $SHLVL` prints `1`
Running
```
bash
echo $SHLVL
```
prints `2`
Running `echo $SHELL` prints `/bin/bash`
The issue seems to be related to an update to Ubuntu 16:
