Any shell that supports being installed as /bin/sh must currently provide a test builtin to support a network-mounted /usr, since coreutils test is in /usr/bin not /bin. I'm fairly certain that no Debian system is bootable without a working test and [ implementation during boot; if nothing else, such constructs are used in early pre-network init scripts. That being said, I agree that requirement doesn't necessarily have to be written into Policy. I don't mind adding "if a test builtin is provided" to the requirement in my proposed patch. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
