TTBOMK, dash does support 'local', and 'echo -n' behavior is already a requirement under policy. I don't think either of these is the cause of the failure under dash. It seems likely that dash support will become RC post-etch as a consequence of refining the policy language on shell scripts to the point that it's reasonably enforceable, so I'm re-raising the severity to important (the normal severity for non-RC policy violations). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
