Package: xterm Version: 225-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/lxterm /usr/bin/lxterm is marked as a Bourne shell script by it's she-bang line although it makes use of the bash-style command substitution $() instead of backquotes. Additionally, ${parameter##word} syntax is used. This seems to be supported by dash (according to sh(1)), though vim's syntax highlighting still complains as long as the she-bang path does not point to bash. Not sure whether ${par##word} is a standard sh feature. Interestingly, dash does not seem to have any problems executing lxterx. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.17+jazzu20061116 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.2-4 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-8 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.0.1-2 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 1:7.1.ds.3-1 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information
