[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#582098: mapserver: FTBFS: ./configure: 12177: Bad substitution

[Niko Tyni]

Package: mapserver
Version: 5.6.3-1
Severity: serious
x-debbugs-cc: dash at packages.debian.org

Thie mapserver package fails to build on current sid/amd64:

checking for xml2-config... /usr/bin/xml2-config
        found libxml2 version 2.7.7
checking if FriBidi support requested... yes
checking for fribidi-config... no
checking for fribidi pkg-config path... yes
./configure: 12177: Bad substitution
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 2

It breaks here when dash is upgraded from 0.5.5.1-3 to 0.5.5.1-5.
Cc'ing the dash maintainers in case they want want to look into it.
