Bug#57335: apt: bashism in dselect methods script

[Joost Kooij <kooij@pc47.mpn.cp.philips.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.17
Severity: normal

Hi,

The file /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/install declares itself to be
a #!/bin/sh interpreted script, yet uses syntactical forms not
supported by the Bourne Shell standard.

The culprit is on line 67 of the file:

  if [ "x$OLDLS" == "x$NEWLS" ]; then

Please change the above line into:

  if [ "x$OLDLS" = "x$NEWLS" ]; then

Thanks,


Joost
