Bug#325511: libc6: bashisms in /etc/init.d/glibc.sh script

[simon raven <simon@nuit.ca>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-5
Severity: normal


on line 100, it errors out if /bin/sh isn't bash. changing hash bang to
'#!/bin/bash -e' "fixes" it.

/etc/init.d/glibc.sh start
/etc/init.d/glibc.sh: 100: Syntax error: Bad substitution

100:  if [ $kernel_ver = ${kernel_ver/pa/} ] 

i suspect something like

  if [ $kernel_ver = "${kernel_ver}/pa/" ]

is expected....

seems to work ok, with the hash bang set back to what it was ('/bin/sh -e').
