Package: mksh Version: 39.3.20100725-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.4
keyboard-configuration 1.68+squeeze2 fails to configure for the following reason, when mksh or mksh-static are used as /bin/sh: ${foo%(} fails to parse because the part after the trim (percent) token is parsed as extglob in Korn Shells, which POSIX doesn’t seem to have. In Korn Shells, ${foo%'('} is henceforth a must. mksh, when called as /bin/sh, sets the shell flag "sh" (in Debian), and upstream has committed a patch degrading trims iff -o sh to non-extglob patterns. This should be applied in stable (squeeze), thus this bug, to track that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/mksh Versions of packages mksh depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libbsd0 0.2.0-1 utility functions from BSD systems ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib mksh recommends no packages.
