Subject: dkms: bashism in /bin/sh script

Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 00:01:14 -0500

Package: dkms
Severity: important
Version: 2.1.1.2-2

Usertags: goal-dash

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/lib/dkms/common.postinst line 102 (should be
> >word 2>&1):
>     elif [ `which rpm &>/dev/null` ]; then


Not using bash (or a Debian Policy compliant shell interpreter that doesn't
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that dash is now the default /bin/sh.

Hints about how to fix bashisms can be found at:
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'.

Thank you,
Raphael Geissert
