Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-8
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
I've reported a similar bug to the sendmail-bin postinst script
some time ago, you'll find it at
| http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424213
for reference and deeper information.
The script defines a shell function "stop()", however, all Korn
shells have "stop" defined as builtin alias (unalias would work,
but in the below patch, I've renamed the stop() function and,
for consistency, the start() function).
Maybe someone should scan all Debian packages for that issue.
I'd be appreciated if you apply the patch in a follow-up release,
as Debian Policy states that scripts beginning with #!/bin/sh must
be portable.
Thanks!
