Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007.dfsg.1-4.np.etch.1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

As discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED], the preinst script uses a
function from our common.functions.preinst snippet which uses the
"local" keyword in a manner not mandated by policy, which only allows it
on a separate line, without a variable assignment at the same time. 

This is not a question of dash or not, it's simply a violation of
policy.

The patch is simple: Just rebuild the source package from the SVN
repository, common.functions.preinst already contains the fix.

Regards, Frank
