Package: sylpheed Version: 2.0.1-1 On a system on which /bin/sh is "dash", not "bash", Sylpheed fails to build. The error occurs when the script "debian/create-docs.sh" is run; the script fails with the error message:
debian/create-docs.sh: 6: Syntax error: Bad substitution The error can easily be worked around by altering the build file "debian/rules". Line 23, which reads: /bin/sh debian/create-docs.sh $(DEB_TAR_SRCDIR) should be replaced with: /bin/bash debian/create-docs.sh $(DEB_TAR_SRCDIR) This allows the script to run successfully and the build to complete without errors. Relevant packages: ii bash 3.0-15 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii dash 0.5.2-7 The Debian Almquist Shell -Stephen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
