Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid using /bin/dash as /bin/sh, your package failed to build.

Relevant part:

The full build log is available from:
	http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2008/01/03.dash/

Rumors say that Ubuntu is using dash as /bin/sh on their buildds, so a patch
might be available. Check <http://packages.qa.debian.org/cdbs>, or
directly on launchpad: <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdbs>.
