Bug#690635: fccexam: bashism in /bin/sh script



Package: fccexam
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: important
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/share/fccexam/fccexam line 72 (read with option 
other than -r):
>                read -p "Which pool?
>                {1,3,5,6,7,7R,8,9,T1,T2,T3,GROL,GROL+,MROP,GMDSS,GMDSS+,R
>                GMDSS} " POOL;

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.
