--- Begin Message ---Package: libpam0g Version: 1.0.1-7 Severity: normal The title says it all: the postinst script (for version 1.0.1-7) uses #!/bin/bash" without specifying a dependency on the `bash' package, and apparently unnecessarily because replacing it with /bin/sh (which in my case is dash) seemed to make it work just fine. I think those scripts should refrain from using bash(isms).
