Do you have statistics about how many packages would be instantly RC buggy because they have #!/bin/bash scripts and would now need to depend or even pre-depend on bash? Since bash is essential, it is a bug to explicitly depend on bash, and after the change it will be a bug to not depend on bash. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
