[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#772269: crmsh: bashism in /bin/sh script

[Raphael Geissert]

Package: crmsh
Severity: important
Version: 1.2.6+git+e77add-1.3
User: debian-release at lists.debian.org

Hi,

I've ran checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) over the whole
archive and I found that your package has a /bin/sh script that uses a
"bashism".

checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/share/crmsh/hb_report line 1223
> ($BASH_SOMETHING):
>			  [ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} = "4" ]; then
> possible bashism in ./usr/share/crmsh/hb_report line 1223 (bash arrays,
> ${name[0|*|@]}):
>			  [ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} = "4" ]; then
> possible bashism in ./usr/share/crmsh/hb_report line 1225
> (BASH(_SOMETHING)=):
>		  BASH_XTRACEFD=3


Not using bash (or a Debian Policy compliant shell interpreter that doesn't
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that dash is the default /bin/sh.

Please closely examine the above output and the script, and determine
what the proper severity of the bug is, and adjust it accordingly. If
it's important or greater please hurry to get this fixed for jessie.
