Hi all, Recently I was made aware of bashisms[0] in the opcontrol script in Edgy's oprofile 0.9.2-1 that were fixed in Debian's upload of 0.9.2-2. All arches in Edgy are affected, and only Edgy is affected. For this reason I've generated a debdiff that changes the invoked shell to /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh, which is the least invasive and obviously correct fix.
Attached please find an SRU debdiff for 6.10's oprofile 0.9.2-1. % debdiff oprofile_0.9.2-1.dsc oprofile_0.9.2-1ubuntu0.1.dsc |diffstat oprofile-0.9.2/debian/changelog | 9 +++++++++ utils/opcontrol | 2 +- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) [0] https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/oprofile/+bug/69455 Thanks, -- Daniel T.
