--- Begin Message ---Package: dbconfig-common Version: 2.0.0 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.4 The construct `…` for pre-POSIX style command substitutions is unportable when double quotes are used both inside and outside the substitution. There has recently been an issue raised with POSIX about the interpretation of the standard regarding this issue, as the POSIX standard per se *is* clear on this, but the current interpretation, which is shared by the yash developers, does not match current shell practice. This only affects constructs like: echo "`echo \"foo\"`" which shows foo in almost all current and some historic shells, and "foo" in mksh’s POSIX mode, yash, and some other historic shells. Your script relies on one interpretation of this unportability (and the one which doesn’t match current POSIX at that): tglase@tglase:~ $ grep -r '".*`.*".*`.*"' /usr/share/dbconfig-common /usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/mysql: dbc_error="mysql said: `cat \"$l_errfile\"`" /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/common: mkdir -p "`dirname \"$dbc_packageconfig\"`" The effect of this is that, when any package using dbconfig-common is configured while lksh (from the mksh package) or yash is /bin/sh a directory called ‘"’ is created under the current working directory. The fix is trivial: use the modern and recommended (since the 1980s or so) form of command substitution: mkdir -p "$(dirname "$dbc_packageconfig")" Further readings: – GNU autoconf texinfo documentation, section *Portable Shell:: – http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1015 in which I ask POSIX to standardise on current practice (which would make your script in theory valid, but still unportable; funnily, since people nowadays only ever use ‘`’ to be m̲o̲r̲e̲ portable). -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: x32 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dbconfig-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 ii ucf 3.0031 dbconfig-common recommends no packages.
