Package: casper Version: 1.77+debian-7 Severity: important While building Live CDs for Debian Edu, I discovered messages like this in the build log:
Setting up usplash (0.3e) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-486 [: 43: ==: unexpected operator cpio: ./etc/udev/rules.d/z99_hal.rules: No such file or directory The message about == being an unexpected operator is typical for bashism in scripts using /bin/sh when /bin/sh is dash as it is in Debian Edu. After trying to track down the source of this message, I found the reason to be the casper scripts using == in several places. Here is a list of files in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ matching '==': /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/casper /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-helpers /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/14locales /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/23networking /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/20xconfig /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/22screensaver Please modify these scripts to use the POSIX = test operator instead of the bash == operator.
