Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources This bug has been copied over from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=530977 and has been verified to still exist in KOffice trunk ---- Hello maintainer, While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making use of a bashism. checkbashisms' output: > possible bashism in ./usr/bin/kexi_delete_column_gui line 32 (should be > '.', not 'source'): > source "$transl_file" > possible bashism in ./usr/bin/kexi_delete_column_gui line 41 (should be > '.', not 'source'): > if [ -f "$transl_file" ] ; then source "$transl_file"; else > transl_file=; fi > possible bashism in ./usr/bin/kexi_add_column_gui line 32 (should be '.', > not 'source'): > source "$transl_file" > possible bashism in ./usr/bin/kexi_add_column_gui line 41 (should be '.', > not 'source'): > if [ ! -f "$transl_file" ] ; then source > "$transl_file"; else transl_file=; fi Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there was a release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1], and has been proposed for squeeze as well[2]. If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html For more information supporting this goal please refer to Debian Policy, section 10.4, at: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts Hints about how to fix bashisms: Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS. If not already fixed you can read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh If you still don't know how to fix the bashisms don't hesitate to reply to this email, or tag the bug as 'help'.
