Bug#547765: speakup-tools: bashism in /bin/sh script
Package: speakup-tools
Severity: important
Version: 3.1.3-1
User: debian-release@lists.debian.org
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/sbin/talkwith line 74 (should be >word 2>&1):
> if which espeakup >& /dev/null; then
> possible bashism in ./usr/sbin/talkwith line 77 (should be >word 2>&1):

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 dash is now the default /bin/sh.
Hints about how to fix bashisms can be found at:

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
