--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Serverity: minor Hi, recent releases of yash and mksh follow POSIX' wording regarding backslashes in backquotes, the other shells follow POSIX' presumable intention and the historically correct behaviour, for example (run on Debian stable): $ bash -c 'echo "`echo \"x\"`"'; yash -c 'echo "`echo \"x\"`"' x "x" In debhelper's git repository, these lines, using the above-mentioned non-portable pattern, can be found: autoscripts/preinst-moveconffile: if [ "`md5sum \"#OLD#\" | sed -e \"s/ .*//\"`" = \ autoscripts/preinst-moveconffile: "`dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}' #PACKAGE# | sed -n -e \"\\\\' #OLD# '{s/ obsolete$//;s/.* //p}\"`" ] Given that Debian does not care about shells from about 1970, the most obvious fix is to use $() instead of ``. This would also improve the code's readability. Regards Carsten

(Closes: #820508) * dh_compress: Gracefully handle debian (or any other path segment in the package "tmpdir") being a symlink pointing outside the same directory. Thanks to Bernhard Miklautz for the report. (Closes: #820711) * Dh_Lib.pm: Compat files are now mandatory. * dh_clean: Remove work around for missing compat file. This removes a confusing warning when the package is not built by CDBS. (Closes: #811059) * debhelper.pod: Add a line stating that debian/compat is mandatory. (Closes: #805405) * dh_strip: Apply patch from Peter Pentchev to only strip static libraries with a basename matching "lib.*\.a". (Closes: #820446) * ant.pm: Apply patch from Emmanuel Bourg to pass a normalised "user.name" parameter to ant. (Closes: #824490) * dh_installudev/dh_installmodules: Drop maintainer script snippets for migrating conffiles. - Side effect, avoids portability issue with certain shell implementations. (Closes: #815158) * autoscripts/*inst-moveconffile: Remove unused files. * dh: Update documentation to reflect the current implementation. * Remove support for compat 4. * dh_strip: Add debuglinks to ELF binaries even with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noautodbgsym to make the regular deb bit-for-bit reproducible with vs. without this flag. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the report. * dh_installcatalogs: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to explicitly trigger a new update-sgmlcatalog trigger, since dpkg does not triger conffiles on package removal. (Closes: #825005) * dh_installcatalos: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to remove autoscript for a transition that completed in Wheezy. * dh_strip: Unconditionally pass --enable-deterministic-archives to strip for static libs as the stable version of binutils supports it. * dh_strip: Use file(1) to determine the build-id when available. This saves an readelf call for every binary in the package. * dh_strip: Cache file(1) output to avoid calling file(1) twice on all ELF binaries in the package. * Dh_Lib.pm: Add better error messages when a debhelper program fails due to an executable config file not terminating with success. (Closes: #818933) * dh_strip: Pass -e to file(1) to skip tests for file formats that dh_strip does not care about. * Bump standards-version to 3.9.8 - no changes required.
