Bug#999878: lintian: bash-term-in-posix-shell 'type' - false positive?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnarhj@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.112.0
Control: affects -1 im-config

Hi!

I see this complaint in im-config:

$ lintian --display-info im-config_0.49-1_all.deb
I: im-config: bash-term-in-posix-shell [usr/share/bug/im-config:3] 'type'

However:

$ man dash | grep 'type \[' -A 3
     type [name ...]
            Interpret each name as a command and print the resolution
            of the command search.  Possible resolutions are: shell
            keyword, alias, shell builtin, command, tracked alias and
            not found.  For aliases the alias expansion is printed; for
            commands and tracked aliases the complete pathname of the
            command is printed.
