[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#557442: acpi-support: acpi scripts assume login shell to be posix compliant

[Alex Rozenshteyn]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.123-1
Severity: important


/usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank uses the line
    su $user -c "(xscreensaver-command -lock)"
and other 'su $user -c "something"' commands.

Since my login shell is fish, these commands fail.
They should be of the form 'su $user -s /bin/sh -c "something"'.
