Bug#812709: cvs-switchroot requires /bin/mksh but it is not installed



Package: cvs
Version: 2:1.12.13+real-15
Severity: normal

The cvs-switchroot program is a script but its interpeter is not
installed.  I assume that a dependency which should exist is simply
missing.


~$  cvs-switchroot 
bash: /usr/bin/cvs-switchroot: /bin/mksh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
~$ type  cvs-switchroot 
cvs-switchroot is hashed (/usr/bin/cvs-switchroot)
~$ head -n 1 /usr/bin/cvs-switchroot
#!/bin/mksh
~$ ls -l /bin/mksh
/bin/ls: cannot access /bin/mksh: No such file or directory
