Package: chkboot Version: 1.3-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, i already reported this upstream two weeks ago: https://github.com/grazzolini/chkboot/pull/17 i installed chkboot and noticed a few issues with the profilealert script: * it uses `source`, which is not available in all shells, and will cause errors (just set your login-shell to dash instead of bash and see yourself) * using `#!/bin/bash` does NOT help, as profile scripts are sourced into whatever shell the user is using * actually, `source`-ing the defaults will will load all it's settings into every shell on the system, just try `echo $BOOTDISK` after login -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages chkboot depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.57 chkboot recommends no packages.
