Package: sendmail-bin
Version: 8.14.1-2
Severity: important
The postinst script contains a shell function stop () { ... }
but this fails when using a Korn shell as /bin/sh, because it
is normally defined as shell alias:
$ for a in ash bash dash mksh pdksh ksh93 zsh; do env me=$a $a -c 'stop () {
echo $me works; }; stop'; done
ash works
bash works
dash works
mksh: syntax error: '(' unexpected
pdksh: syntax error: (' unexpected
ksh93: syntax error at line 1: (' unexpected
zsh works
The obvious fix is to change
| stop () {
into
| stop_mta () {
and adjust its uses accordingly, which is what I did.
Maybe dash should be changed to warn if ksh-reserved words are
used like this? I don't know. But the sendmail postinst script
should be changed to allow using any bourne/posix compatible
shell to be used as /bin/sh, as per Debian policy.
PS: Don't look too much at the package-specific info below,
I've configured sendmail differently than sendmailconfig wants.
