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
