These surprised me, so I took a peek. In shunit2's case, ksh is optionally used as part of the test suite. Removing the dependency did not cause FTBFS. In graphviz's case, it seems there's three implementations of /usr/bin/dotty and lneato in the source; a sh, a ksh and a bash. None are run (afaics) in the build phase and the sh ones are installed in the binary. (graphviz seems to FTBFS in a clean pbuilder sid chroot atm, as as aside) > I would like to ask the aforementioned maintainers to transition > to depending/build-depending on mksh instead It seems simply dropping pdksh as a build-dependency is sufficient. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
