Package: keychain Version: 2.5.5-5 Severity: normal The stanza near line 480 (search for "defunct") uses IGNORECASE, which is a gawk extension. Additionally, this gawk extension is disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set[0], which AIUI it is in newer versions of bash when invoked as /bin/sh.
As a consequence, the match is not case-insensitive unless gawk is used and POSIX mode is disabled. Therefore, you should either find some other way of removing that text (recommendation below) or Depend: gawk, use gawk instead of awk when invoking the program, and unset POSIXLY_CORRECT in the script. If you choose the latter option, please upgrade this bug to severity serious, since the dependencies are incorrectly specified. I have created a testcase (test.sh) which I have attached. It should be invoked as ./test.sh, which will test this behavior with different combinations of the following parameters: * Uppercase/lowercase text as input to awk. * Uppercase/lowercase text as match for awk. * Setting/not setting IGNORECASE=1. * mawk/gawk. * Setting/not setting both POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 and _POSIX2_VERSION=200112. Additionally, if you set FORCE_CASE=1 when invoking test.sh, IGNORECASE=1 will never be set. Only in this case will the test succeed. My recommendation is to remove the IGNORECASE=1 stanza and instead use the following construction: grep -vi 'defunct' Thank you for your time.
