Package: texlive-base-bin
Severity: important
Version: 2007.dfsg.1-2
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/bin/texconfig line 540 (let ...):
>         let myexit = primitive_end_;


Not using bash as /bin/sh would lead to errors or unexpected behaviours. 
Please be aware that although 
bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to 
make dash the default /bin/sh[1].

If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:

Hi,

your script caught a here document:

% sed -n 538,545p =texconfig
    cd $tmpdir
    cat >mftmp.mf <<-'eof'
        let myexit = primitive_end_;
        mode_setup;
        string xdpi;
        xdpi := decimal round pixels_per_inch;
        message "XDPI = " & xdpi;
        string ydpi;

The word let is not used as a shell command.

Bye, Jörg.
