Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.7
Severity: minor
"command -v" is not POSIX. The postinst and prerm scripts use it and have
#!/bin/sh at the top, so they violate policy 10.4.
Possible solutions:
* Using #!/bin/bash eliminates the 10.4 violation. However, there
remains the additional problem that "command -v" doesn't really work
as a check whether or not a command is runnable. The string that it
outputs is not necessarily the pathname of an executable file.
(See #291197.)
* Use the which program from debianutils.
* Use the trydo() function I posted to #291026.
* Use the findcommand() function posted by Tollef Fog Heen in #218530.
* Assume that install-docs is at /usr/sbin/install-docs and just use
test -x /usr/sbin/install-docs
