Package: sylpheed
Version: 2.0.1-1
On a system on which /bin/sh is "dash", not "bash", Sylpheed fails to
build. The error occurs when the script "debian/create-docs.sh" is
run; the script fails with the error message:
debian/create-docs.sh: 6: Syntax error: Bad substitution
The error can easily be worked around by altering the build file
"debian/rules". Line 23, which reads:
/bin/sh debian/create-docs.sh $(DEB_TAR_SRCDIR)
should be replaced with:
/bin/bash debian/create-docs.sh $(DEB_TAR_SRCDIR)
This allows the script to run successfully and the build to complete
without errors.
