Package: udhcpc Version: 1:1.15.3-1 Severity: important File: /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script
I got a bug report by private mail. Here's the summary of it: /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script contains $((metric++)) which seems to be a bashism although checkbashisms doesn't find it (http://bugs.debian.org/572006), but dash definitely can't parse it, since it's not necessary for POSIX conpliance. This causes causes network setup failures at least in some cases. (Worked fine for me + checkbashisms didn't find it, so I didn't notice this bashism when testing that code.) The easy solution is to use $((metric=metric+1)) instead. Will check for further occurrences of this bashism inside the busybox package and add a patch against current SVN to this bug report. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages udhcpc depends on: ii busybox 1:1.15.3-1 Tiny utilities for small and embed udhcpc recommends no packages. udhcpc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
