[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#589820: sleep: invalid number '0.1'

[Sébastien Ducoulombier]

Package: ltsp-client-core
Version: 5.2.3-1
Severity: normal

At X terminal boot, busybox is used in the initrd.img to interpret boot scripts.
busybox's implementation of "sleep" only accepts integers.
Therefore, in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udhcp, "sleep 0.1" fails with this error message :
sleep: invalid number '0.1'

I suggest replacing it with "sleep 1" as a quick fix.
Please find the attached patch.
