Package: tac-plus
Severity: important
Version: 1:4.0.4.alpha-14+b2
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 ./preinst line 29 ('((' should be '$(('):
>             if grep -q "^tac-plus:" /etc/passwd && (( `id -u tac-plus` ==
> 43 )) possible bashism in ./preinst line 36 ('((' should be '$(('):
>             elif grep -q "^tacacs:" /etc/passwd && (( `id -u tacacs` ==
> 64005 ))

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
