Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.25
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
$ dpatch
/usr/bin/dpatch: line 8: set: pipefail: invalid option name
This error occur at the line, "set -o pipefail".
Since "pipefail" is introduce in bash version 3, so the package should
add the dependency of "bash >= 3".

Debian bug-wise, this is closed. I'm closing the bugreport.
dpatch code error path uses pipefail, so in the precondition that
there is no error, you could patch it at your own risk. Practically,
there will always be some kind of error condition, and thus I do not
consider it a useful request.
