Bug#690646: hamexam: bashism in /bin/sh script



Package: hamexam
Version: 1.2.0-1
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/hamexam/hamexam line 50 (read with option 
other than -r):
>            read -p "Which pool? {t,g,e} " 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.

You can find hints about how to fix bashisms at:

Thank you,
