Package: mksh
Version: 56c-3~bpo9+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed mksh and attempted to set the login shell to /bin/ksh
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
`chsh -s /bin/ksh`
* What was the outcome of this action?
The command failed because /bin/ksh was not present in /etc/shells
* What outcome did you expect instead?
As mksh is part of Debian's alternatives system for the Korn Shell I
would expect /bin/ksh to be available as a login shell.
