--- Begin Message ---Package: remembrance-agent Severity: normal Version: 2.12-3 User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: goal-dash Hello maintainer, While checking the list of packages reported by lintian at[0] I've confirmed with the latest checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) that one or more maintainer scripts make use of a bashism. checkbashisms' output: > possible bashism in ./postinst line 61 (echo -e): > echo -e "\nDatabase FINISHED." > possible bashism in ./postinst line 62 (echo -e): > echo -e "\nModifying ${emacs_el_start}" > possible bashism in ./postinst line 74 (echo -e): > echo -e "\nNOT building the database since no directories were > specified." Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1]. If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting this argument at: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts HINT: sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS [0]http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/possible-bashism-in-maintainer-script.html [1]http://release.debian.org/lenny/goals.txt Thank you, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
