[Webapps-common-packages] Bug#440324: bugzilla: Uninstallable due to bashisms (when using POSIX shell, eg. dash)

[Ted Percival]

Package: bugzilla
Version: 2.22.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.4

Installation is failing on my system where /bin/sh is a link to
/bin/dash. The precense of the "-ne" and "-e" in output indicates that
there are probably one or more scripts using bash features without
specifying /bin/bash as the interpreter.

Here is a snippet of the output during installation:
> Replacing config file /etc/bugzilla/dbconfig-params with new version
> -ne granting access to database bugzilla for bugzilla at localhost: 
> -e failed.
> error encountered creating user:
> mysql said: ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'bugzilla'
