Just wanted to point out that these bashisms in apertium have a very severe effect. apertium itself does not run now on systems where /bin/sh points to dash instead of bash:
0 d...@pip:~$ echo hello | apertium en-es
/usr/bin/apertium: 9: function: not found
USAGE: apertium [-d datadir] [-f format] [-u] <translation> [in [out]]
-d datadir directory of linguistic data
-f format one of: txt (default), html, rtf, odt, docx, wxml, xlsx
-u don't display marks '*' for unknown words
translation typically, LANG1-LANG2, but see modes.xml in language data
in input file (stdin by default)
out output file (stdout by default)
bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe
1 d...@pip:~$ echo hello | bash $(which apertium) en-es
hola
0 d...@pip:~$
This is still the case for apertium version 3.0.7+1-2 (from unstable),
unfortunately.
just switching the shebang line in /usr/bin/apertium seems to resolve
the problem for me, though.
