Version: 3.12-1
Severity: normal

User: md@linux.it

Dear Maintainer,

The package currently fails to reproducibly build on merged-usr vs
non-merged systems.

The problem is that the full path of echo is embedded in a shipped file.

The problem could be fixed by passing ECHO=/bin/echo to configure,
but that would still embedd a full path and avoid using the
shell-builtin which would be more efficient.

I've thus opted for a patch that simply eliminates the indirection
and just uses plain echo in the script. The script already uses
plain echo in atleast one place, so the $ECHO use isn't even consistent.
I see no value in keeping $ECHO.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
