[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#690618: ltsp-server: bashism in /bin/sh script

[Raphael Geissert]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.4.2-2
Severity: important
User: debian-release at lists.debian.org
Usertags: goal-dash

Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' 
package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
>possible bashism in ./usr/sbin/ltsp-config line 57 (echo -e):
>        echo -e "$replace" >> "$file"

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which 
doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to 
errors or unexpected behaviours.

You can find hints about how to fix bashisms at:

Thank you,
