** Description changed: - The following shell script use to work underneath drapper but doesn't + The following shell script use to work underneath dapper 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
