Package: freebsd-utils Version: 6.2-3 Severity: important Tags: patch A few scripts from freebsd-utils contain calls that are not pure bourne/posix shell, namely:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # fgrep -nr 'exec -a' /bin /sbin /bin/mount:17:exec -a mount /lib/freebsd/mount ${args} /bin/sysctl:29: exec -a sysctl /lib/freebsd/sysctl ${args} /sbin/route:32:exec -a route /lib/freebsd/route ${cmd} ${args} > /dev/null This could either be fixed (what is "exec -a" supposed to do?) or, possibly better, be worked around by changing the first line of all these scripts to "#!/bin/bash" which is installed anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid Architecture: kfreebsd-i386 (i686) Kernel: kFreeBSD 5.4-1-486 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/mksh Versions of packages freebsd-utils depends on: ii freebsd-hackedutils 6.1-1 FreeBSD utilities needed for GNU/k ii libbsd0 0.0-1.2+r1710 BSD compatibility library - shared ii libc0.1 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfreebsd0 0.0-5 FreeBSD compatibility library - sh ii libgeom0 6.2-1 FreeBSD GEOM library ii libkiconv2 6.2-1 FreeBSD kernel side iconv library ii libkvm0 6.2-1 FreeBSD kvm (kernel memory interfa freebsd-utils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
