[Neurodebian-users] FSL randomise_parallel has a bashism that causes the defragmentation step to fail under dash

[Chase,Philip B]

Where should I report a bug in FSL—neurodebian packaged fsl-5.0, 5.0.0-1~nd60+1 ?

I found a bug in randomise_parallel that causes the defragmentation step to fail at the end of the randomise run.  The error  log of the defragment job shows

./GM_mod_merg_s3.defragment: 15: Bad substitution
./GM_mod_merg_s3.defragment: 15: Bad substitution
...
./GM_mod_merg_s3.defragment: 15: Bad substitution

If the shell is changed from dash to bash the defragment jobs works fine.  This patch does the trick:

diff --git a/randomise_parallel b/randomise_parallel
index dc112c9..589033c 100755
--- a/randomise_parallel
+++ b/randomise_parallel
@@ -128,7 +128,7 @@ GENERATE_ID=`$FSLDIR/bin/fsl_sub -T ${REQUESTED_TIME} -N ${BASENAME}.generate -l

+#!/bin/bash
 echo "Merging stat images"

Where do I report this?  FSL seems to have no bug reporting mechanism, while http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/fsl.html directs me to this list and not a bug reporting site.

Thanks,
Philip
