Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.109-3
Severity: important

Hello,

/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh has the contents

        #!/bin/sh

        test -f /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs || exit 0

        . /usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate hibernate

As far as I can see /bin/dash does not support the construct 
        . /usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate hibernate
i.e. the argument "hibernate" is not passed to the script 
/usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate

The script thus prints out a usage statement and just suspends the
computer instead of hibernating it.

One fix is to use
        set -- hibernate 
just before the objectionable line.

Note that /etc/acpi/sleep.sh contains a similar line. As far as I
could tell
        egrep -rl '^\.[[:space:]]+[^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]' /etc/acpi
didn't show any other files with a similar construct.

Regards,

Kapil.
