[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#548141: xmlto uses bashisms

[Michael Biebl]

Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.23-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

the latest upload of xmlto produces a lot of errors with /bin/sh not
being bash (the default is now dash, thus severity serious):

E.g. a test compilation of ConsoleKit 0.3.1 looks like this:

$ make -C doc/ 
make: Entering directory `/tmp/ConsoleKit-0.3.1/doc'

make: Leaving directory `/tmp/ConsoleKit-0.3.1/doc'


A trivial fix is to use #!/bin/bash as shebang in /usr/bin/xmlto, ideally
though xmlto is fixed to not use any bashisms.

Cheers,
Michael
