[Bug 1134259] [NEW] Alpha-conversion bug in alt-ergo 0.94

 

Public bug reported:

There is a rather serious alpha-conversion bug in alt-ergo 0.94
(available in Ubuntu 12.10). Try this:

goal absurd: (forall b:bool. b = true) or (forall b:bool. b = false)

Observed behavior: alt-ergo says this is valid.
Expected behavior: alt-ergo should not be able to prove this.

Note that this is fixed in alt-ergo 0.95, however this version is not
available in the Ubuntu repos.

Best,

Malte
