Package: bpalogin
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When /bin/sh points to /bin/dash, bpalogin-configure doesn't work --
instead it prints out messages like:
> read: 63: arg count
> read: 191: arg count
and exits without prompting for anything.
It is relying on bash to assign a response to the REPLY variable.
dash's read command must have a variable name passed to it.
