Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.18.1 Severity: normal Hello,
I'm not completely sure this is a bug in checkbashisms, please reassign it in case it's not. I switched my /bin/sh to dash and so I'm checking that all the local scripts works with the latter. Since my preferred tool for this scope is checkbashisms, I was quite surprised when one "clean" script didn't work with dash, giving the following error: read: 19: Illegal option -n Indeed, the POSIX `read` command [1] supports a single option, -r: The following option is supported: -r Do not treat a backslash character in any special way. Consider each backslash to be part of the input line. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/read.html -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.28.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.14.16.6 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.5-6 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii fakeroot 1.9.3 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information
