I believe the other person already found a work-around/fix but your comment is actually something that many people "forget" (or are not even aware of to begin with). You can install the devscripts package on Debian(-derivates) and use the checkbashisms utility to find issues in your scripts. For the lazy, replacing /bin/sh with /bin/bash should to care of your bashisms.
