- The 'mm_local_install' script assumes that your sh shell is a

- compatible shell.
- As a result, distributions such as Ubuntu that link sh to the

- will have a problem.
- While the dash shell is a direct descendant of the ash shell,
- it has a
- <a
href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/139097";>broken
implementation of ash's 'local' command</a>.
- Since the 'mm_local_install' and 'mm_local_helper' scripts use
ash's 'local' command,
- these scripts will not work on systems that use dash until
dash's implementation of ash's 'local' command is fixed.
