It is still a serious bug, though, because according to policy only local a a=foo can be used and not local a=foo (Policy 10.4) > If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read: > http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh I suggest you also include a link to Debian Policy 10.4, which contains the actual information of what /bin/sh scripts may and may not do. None of the links you gave explained whether local was allowed at all or not, etc. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
