Package: postgrey
Version: 1.21-2
Severity: important
There's a bashism in the init.d script of postgrey. The net effect is
this:
cheetah:~# /etc/init.d/postgrey start
/etc/init.d/postgrey: 37: [[: not found
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgreyOption greylist-text
requires an argument
The line that causes the problem is this:
if [[ "$POSTGREY_TEXT" = "" ]]; then
I'm using dash as /bin/sh, and he seems not to like those "[["
thingies :-) Changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash solves the problem,
though I think that simply using simple brackets in the previous line
would be a better solution.
I've flagged this as important because I stopped receiving mail (i.e.,
mail from external sources) when I upgraded and I didn't realize that
postgrey hadn't started correctly (mind you, I had a long list of
packages to upgrade). If I hadn't logcheck working, I might have not
realized until later, and it could be a serious problem.
