Bug#393929: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg possibly uses a bashism
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-4
Severity: minor
Here is what happens when sh is linked to dash:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[: 31: ==: unexpected operator
xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20061018161248
And here when sh is linked to bash:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20061018161411
In both cases the config file is correctly generated however. I am not
acquainted with the Debian package configuration so I cannot help more
than that.
