Package: apt-zip
Version: 0.18
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

in the generated fetch script with "#!/bin/sh" shebang line the
following tests are included:

[ "`type sha256sum`" ]
[ "`type gzip`" ]

If there is no such command (sha256sum, gzip), these tests fail as
expected if /bin/sh is:

* bash
* ksh93

but unexpectedly pass if /bin/sh is:

* dash
* mksh
* zsh (didn't test zsh's sh compatibility mode, just zsh itself)

So the fetch script behaves differently depending on the /bin/sh
implementation on the downloading machine.

I suggest the following code (expecting that every Unix has a which
command somewhere in its $PATH):

[ -x "`which sha256sum`" ]

It at least gives the same result with all above mentioned Bourne Shell
implementations.
