Public bug reported:
The following shell script use to work underneath drapper but doesn't
work correctly anymore underneath edgy - for some reason the bash
command 'type -p' is within a script it tries to evaluate the -p as a
file name. Example:
#!/bin/sh
WINENAMES="wine"
WINEEXEC=`type -p $WINENAMES | head -n 1`
echo "WINEEXEC=$WINEEXEC"
produces WINEEXEC=-p: not found
But run the expression `type -p wine` on a command line and it works
correctly and produces /usr/bin/wine
