control: tags -1 help Hi all, I am looking into fixing bug 807353¹ against my package dbconfig-common. dbconfig-common is written in shell, such that it can easily be sourced and used in maintainer scripts. The issue is that when you call a sourced function in the test part of an if-then-fi statement, the "set -e" option of the calling script doesn't propagate into the sourced function. Unfortunately, dbconfig-commons error handling relies on that behavior. I found a (slightly hacky, but probably adequate) solution for bash², but that doesn't seem to be generic enough for e.g. dash as it relies on the errtrace option. Does anybody here have an idea how to solve this properly?
