Package: util-linux
Severity: normal
Version: 2.13.1-2
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: goal-dash
Hello maintainer,
While checking the list of packages reported by lintian at[0] I've confirmed
with the latest checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) that one or
more maintainer scripts make use of a bashism.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./preinst line 4 (echo -e):
> ( echo -e "\nPlease upgrade to a newer version of dpkg\n"; exit 1 )
Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which doesn't
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours.
Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a
release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting
this argument at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts
HINT: sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS
