--- Begin Message ---Package: nbd-client Version: 1:3.2-1.1 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: goal-dash Hello maintainer, While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making use of a bashism. checkbashisms' output: >possible bashism in ./usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/nbd line 82 ([^] should be [!]): > *[^0-9]*) 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. You can find hints about how to fix bashisms at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh Thank you, Raphael Geissert

--- Begin Message ---Hi, Scripts under /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts are (conditionally) put inside an initramfs, where they are not run by the system /bin/sh, but by busybox sh instead.

If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today. -- http://xkcd.com/1133/
