[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#361550: bashism in /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/10_aide_hostname

[Michael Gurski]

Package: aide
Version: 0.11a-2
Severity: normal


When running aide after the upgrade to 0.11a-2, with /bin/sh linked to
/bin/dash, the following error is printed:

/etc/aide/aide.conf.d/10_aide_hostname: 3: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Examining the file, there's a bash-optional "function " on line 3,
which dash doesn't recognize as valid for a function definition.  2
possible fixes:

1 - remove "function " from line 3

2 - change the #! line to explicitly use bash instead of /bin/sh
