Package: vino
Version: 2.8.1-1.1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

For redirecting stdout and stderr the postinst script uses
the redirection operator &> which is only available in bash. When
/bin/sh is not a symlink to bash (I use dash), the stderr is not
redirected and I can see this error message:
kill: 18: Usage: kill [-s sigspec | -signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]...
or
kill -l [exitstatus]

This is just a cosmetic bug, it does not prevent the installation
of the package.

I recommend this patch:
