Hello all, Looking for some advice. Recently a bug was filed on one of my packages that really had me pulling my hair out - it turned out to be that the test to make sure debconf input was numeric was failing because I use [[:digit:]]* and the user's shell was dash. I've checked the scripts with checkbashisms, and it doesn't think that that's a bash specific thing, but perhaps they missed it.
Looking here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/toc.htm , it looks like this is a POSIX expression, so I think I'm right, but I want to be sure before I just reassign the bug to dash. Does anyone know the POSIX standard well enough to know if this is a bug in dash, or a bashism? Thanks, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
