Package: lintian Version: 1.23.11 Severity: normal While checking my package I got these:
W: devhelp: possible-bashism-in-maintainer-script preinst:5 '[ "$1" = "upgrade" -o ' W: devhelp: possible-bashism-in-maintainer-script postrm:16 '&>' W: devhelp: possible-bashism-in-maintainer-script postrm:17 '&>' The first one is a real problem, but the other two are not. The significant lines are: rmdir /etc/emacs/site-start.d > /dev/null 2&>1 || true rmdir /etc/emacs > /dev/null 2&>1 || true I believe lintian may be confusing that with simply using >&. I tried that kind of redirection on dash and surveyed #debian-devel. IIRC that kind was used exactly because of being POSIX compliant.
